Package: iceweasel Followup-For: Bug #475166 http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=213080 has more information on this bug. Apparently aoss overrides mmap so it can handle mmap'ed OSS devices, and the aoss mmap calls calloc. libjemalloc's initialization process, which must run before memory allocation will work, calls mmap to get memory to allocate. Deadlock.
As I understand it, libjemalloc provides a significant improvement in Firefox 3. Disabling it to work around a bug in aoss seems quite unfortunate. How about temporarily dropping support for aoss instead, or only disabling libjemalloc when using aoss? Alternatively, what if libjemalloc had a pool of heap memory available on startup to satisfy initial requests, and only called mmap when this ran out?
