thunderbird crash at start

[Matte Silver]

Binary package hint: thunderbird

Thunderbird don't start;
when run from terminal all I see is:

$ thunderbird
Inconsistency detected by ld.so: ../sysdeps/x86_64/dl-machine.h: 416: elf_machine_rela_relative: Assertion `((reloc->r_info) & 0xffffffff) == 8' failed!
$

thats all.

Ubuntu 8.10 64bit
thunderbird 2.0.0.21+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.10.1

Apparently, windows broken my partition again :-(

[Darwin Survivor (darwinsurvivor)]

I have just started having this problem as well.

The exact error I get is:
Inconsistency detected by ld.so: ../sysdeps/x86_64/dl-machine.h: 458: elf_machine_rela_relative: Assertion `((reloc->r_info) & 0xffffffff) == 8' failed!

I noticed rufio mentioned windows in his post when you changed the bug to "invalid". I don't know if it's a coincidence, but I just installed XP as a dualboot to my existing system, could this be somehow related?

I have attached an strace (thunderbird 2> file.txt)

I dont see anything that says windows on this bug outside of your comment.
It is likely a new profile will fix this or running it in safe mode. However he was the reporter of the bug that marked it invalid so it was related to something other than thunderbird.
If you still have issues with this please report a new bug on it This is after trying.
disable all extensions
try with a new profile
maybe try running the following in terminal:
firefox --safe-mode
and see if it helps

Actually Windows vista was restoring from STR after I replaced hard drives.
Windows was trying to use linux partition as its own.
It doesn't affect just thunderbird, but if you have more broken executables and lost blocks found during the e2fsck it might mean that your linux and windows partitions overlap.
