Bug#571138: iceweasel: random crashes at page/tab close of Iceweasel and iceape

Tue Feb 23 19:44:48 UTC 2010

Package: iceweasel
Version: 3.5.8-1
Severity: normal

(I have tried following the instructions in the page
appearing before reportbus reports bugs. But, first, the 
background)

Iceape and Iceweasel crashes randomly. I have tried various 
flash plugins, but it appears that flash player is not the 
problem. Neither would crash when run under stracce).

Output of running "iceweasel -sync".

Gdk-ERROR **: The program 'firefox-bin' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'RenderBadPicture (invalid Picture parameter)'.
  (Details: serial 1334285 error_code 160 request_code 148 minor_code 7)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
aborting...
Trace/breakpoint trap

Both iceweasel and iceape crash while closing tabs. 

The below crash occured while clearing browsing history. As soon as 
browsing history is cleared, it crashes. 

Output of "iceape -safe-mode"

Iceape  always crashes while clearing browser history. 

Will try with other options later on.
