Subject: more info from gdb

I was able to obtain some more information by running mozilla-bin and
firefox-bin through gdb.

First, I got an error:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
[Switching to Thread 16384 (LWP 4010)]
0x40f0e8ac in nsHTMLReflowState::UseComputedHeight ()
   from /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/components/libgklayout.so

I looked up that function in the source, and tried setting the environment
variable GECKO_USE_COMPUTED_HEIGHT to 1. This worked, and mozilla (or
firefox) launch many more threads than before, and a window that starts
querying www.mozilla.org

Eventually, though they both crash with a segmentation fault. gdb reports the
following, consistently, with either:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

0x40e36ce2 in nsTextFrame::TextStyle::TextStyle ()
