[hardy] firefox breaks on some pages with an X error

[Pär]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

I get this with firefox-3.0 on Hardy.

I tried to set a breakpoint in gdb according discussion in one of the upstream bug reports with the result below:

...
(gdb) break exit
Breakpoint 1 at 0xb7d56e66
(gdb) continue
Continuing.
[New Thread 0xb0fffb90 (LWP 30126)]
[Thread 0xb21c0b90 (LWP 30094) exited]
The program 'gecko' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.
  (Details: serial 106706 error_code 11 request_code 53 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

Sorry, this report was intended to be added to #178274, maybe someone who understands this report system can move it there?
