Ditto.

This is Jaunty 9.04, but this time on x86-32 (Pentium 4 with hyper-threading).

Firefox etc. used to work fine until I ran the updates this morning, having been away from the office for a week without updating. The system locked up during the kernel update (mouse not moving, Ctrl+Alt+F1 no use etc.). After magic SysRq-s,u,b, I ran dpkg --configure -a or similar, as requested by Synaptic. dpkg failed with an error (attached, as part of it at least relates to this bug).

Anyway, I have a system with no nVidia driver (kernel headers are failing to install due to an executable format error, probably not related), and no web access because the new xulrunner is giving a bus error.

Attached is the Firefox strace, command as above.
