firefox-3.5 crashed with SIGSEGV in ptmalloc_init()

[Milan Bouchet-Valat]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.5

It occurred several times, the strange thing is that Shiretoko is still running nicely after it. I guess the crash happens when Shiretoko was already started and another process was created: the crash occurs in that process, after it has prompted the old Shiretoko to show a given webpage.

Thank you for reporting this to Ubuntu. Does this still happen with Firefox 3.5.2?

Not seen for a while. I'm not sure something has changed, but let's close it since it cannot be reproduced.
