I'm using Debian Sid, and it seems like Iceweasel (aka Firefox) has been crashing a lot lately with "Bus Error" printed to stdout when it dies. I use mono/.net and python, so my C/C++ debugging skills are very lacking. I was able to capture the following using gdb on Iceweasel: Program received signal SIGBUS, Bus error. [Switching to Thread -1288709200 (LWP 28528)] 0xb1a98309 in toupper_w () from /lib/libnss_wins.so.2 Ironically I've had libnss_mdns cause a crash like this in Samba before, so maybe this is just Samba getting payback. ;) Any ideas? Is this a Samba or Iceweasel bug? Should I submit it to Debian? Has anyone else seen this? Thanks! Michael Schurter

If it were aq bug in nss_wins (which is very well could be) you should see similar crashes in other programs. cheers, jerry ====================================================================Samba ------- http://www.samba.org Centeris ----------- http://www.centeris.com "What man is a man who does not make the world better?" --Balian -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.4 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFF6DVGIR7qMdg1EfYRAvogAJ4/DiHXE/xDxVpQpe1969j7bBVCRgCgoC/S /Ni/pkGu5T1JbdCVZqDyeW8=wwod -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
