Does it work? If so, you know the problem is in your profile. If not, I'd google for "mozilla bus error". ----
Hi Kent: First, sorry about the lack of line feeds. I use this account to cut down the s p am problem and I can't set the line length ;( Further info: I removed the profile at each step, forcing mozilla to make a new profile each time. That didn't help. I also made a new user account and mozilla failed there too with the same error. I just installed the latest unstable firefox and it runs perfectly, so I know that something is happening in the system wide mozilla config--I just don't know what :( The only thing I found on Google was something about ulimit, which is currently set at "unlimited", and is kind of over my head anyway :( I also purged mozilla and all it's related stuff, installed testing mozilla-browser with same error results. Next I did a second unstable install of mozilla-browser just for kicks, always ends with "Bus error" when I try to launch it. Still, it just seems odd that mozilla 1.7 ran the first few times perfectly befor it started to botch for unknown reasons. Also, Mozilla is the only thing that I upgraded, and apt had no problems with it at all. Hopefully someone will recognize the error and point me in the right direction.
