I'm in the habit of tracking stable/9 daily, and once I boot the new kernel (& world), I update the inistalled ports on my laptop usinig portmaster.
The past several updates for firefox have been uneventful (though a bit
time-consuming) ... until today.
Today, the updates seemed to be OK, but when I start firefox, I get a
segmentation fault.
I tried creating a new ("vanilla") profile and starting with that; the
segfault remains.
In <http://www.catwhisker.org/~david/FreeBSD/firefox/>, one may find:
[TXT] debug_session.txt 20-Feb-2013 09:57 11K
[TXT] dmesg.boot.txt 20-Feb-2013 06:48 10K
[TXT] portmaster_run.txt 20-Feb-2013 06:48 11M
* debug_session.txt is a cut/paste showing what I see when I try running
gdb against the firefox.core. (Not much, as I don't normally build
everything with debugging symbols.)
* dmesg.boot.txt is a copy of /var/run/dmesg.boot on the affected
system. Here's "uname -a" output:
FreeBSD g1-227.catwhisker.org 9.1-STABLE FreeBSD 9.1-STABLE #380
r247019M/247030: Wed Feb 20 05:54:53 PST 2013
r...@g1-227.catwhisker.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/CANARY i386
I note, too, that this is a dual-core machine.
* portmaster_run.tx is a copy of the typescript from the portmaster run.
(I tend to do these updates within script(1).)
I'm rather at a loss to know what else would be useful or helpful,
so if I've overlooked something, please let me know. I've included
my address on the Reply-To hint, as I'm not subscribed to gecko@.
Thanks!
Peace,
david
