Okay, I've been testing Namoroka 3.6.13 versus 3.6.14pre (post-dating this fix), and I'm afraid to say the results are less than conclusive.

* I get crashes with 3.6.13, although not as frequently as with Ubuntu's 3.6.13;

* I get crashes with 3.6.14pre, also not as frequently, though these are due to SIGBUS (seemingly stemming from Flash), which is a different failure mode from this bug;

* Ubuntu 3.6.13 plus my patch is the only build that has proven uncrashable so far;

* Because the Namoroka builds are optimized, there's not much I can do in the way of post-mortem to see what's going on.

All of these are with the same ~/.mozilla directory, and thus the same runtime configuration.

Wish I could report a before-vs.-after smoking gun, but the reality is more of a muddle.
