Hi all,
just for the record, I got the list of the packages currently installed on
Michele's system, and tried to set up a similar system on a test partition:
1) I installed a minimal amd64 system on a test partition with the latest
Lenny installer.
2) I converted the list he gave me into something that can be given back to
dpkg to set a list of packages to install.
3) I removed from the list some packages which are not in Debian (installed
by alien?) and ran dpkg --set-selection < the_list.
4) I then installed all the packages with apt-get dselect-upgrade
On the resulting system, Iceweasel was working.
It strongly corroborates the idea of Mike that the problem may be in some extra
files that are not distributed nor created in latest versions. If people
experiencing crashes want to test this at home, to better exclude the
possibility of strange hardware issue, they can use the same methodology
(provided that they have a free partition for tests). The best way to get a
list for dpkg --set-selection is to save the output of dpkg --get-selections.
Note however that if you have limited time, trying what Mike suggests in his
latest email is probably the most important.
Have a nice day,

Charles
