firefox crashed with SIGSEGV in __kernel_vsyscall()

[Charles Perreault]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Firefox crashed when browsing a simple page on howtoforge :
http://www.howtoforge.com/using-kvm-on-ubuntu-gutsy-gibbon (or one of its link).

So far the page made Firefox 3.0 crash on every visit (4 crashes in 4 tries) on my desktop and is fully reproducible. I use a fresh install of Hardy from yesterday, Feb. 19th, fully updated.
