This is the same issue as in Debian bugs #634261 [1], reassigning to
libc6 and merging. This bug report also contains a detailed
explanation by Michael Karcher where this bug originates from (it is
actually a bug in libc6).

As far as I know, newer releases of XULrunner avoid this problem by
exporting the _IO_stdin_used symbol again, so that these crashes don't
happen anymore.

And this is the same problem as described in #674908 [2], please refer
to this bug report for a follow-up discussion.

Cheers,

Adrian
