Bug#660487: xulrunner-dev: instant segfault in startup (related to jemalloc)

[lkcl]

Package: xulrunner-dev
Version: 10.0.1-1
Severity: normal

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=728500
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=660178

there's a segfault been noted when using hulahop which was not present
in version 9 of xulrunner.  the mozilla team kindly advised to stop
using jemalloc (--disable-jemalloc) whilst the issue was being 
investigated but that may not be the root cause of the problem.

this and one other bugreport (#660482) tend to suggest that xulrunner
10 simply isn't ready for public use yet.
