It only crashes on AMD64 as I stated in the original bug report.

For the following run I disabled compis and all firefox addons and
started firefox from the command line. Apart for a dialog questioning
whether I want a new session or to restore the previous (I said new),
it crashes before the page is rendered. Bang, dead and now I have a
core file if any body would like it (3.8MB when bzipped)

Note that thomas.co.nz is the only site on which it crashes which
considering the simplistic and very light nature of the page is
somewhat of a worry.

davidwa@server:~$ firefox thomas.co.nz

(gecko:13990): Pango-WARNING **: failed to create cairo scaled font,
expect ugly output. the offending font is 'Calibri 9'
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Oh no! /usr/lib/firefox/firefox-bin just dumped a core file.

Do you want to debug this ? You need a lot of memory for this, so
watch out ? [y/n] y
/usr/bin/gdb /usr/lib/firefox/firefox-bin core

Core was generated by `/usr/lib/firefox/firefox-bin thomas.co.nz'.
