firefox-3.1 crashed with SIGSEGV in ptmalloc_init()

[Anders Kaseorg]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.1

This is reproducable by running “firefox-3.1 http://any-url/” when firefox-3.1 is already running. The URL successfully opens in a new tab of the original firefox-3.1 process, but the new firefox-3.1 process crashes like this.
