Strange Mozilla error

[Chong Yu Meng]

Here's something I noticed today :

After installing php rpm packages on my Fedora Core system, Mozilla 
suddenly stopped working, giving me a Segmentation fault. I narrowed it 
down to a shared library file it was missing (libmozjs.so) by doing a 
"ldd -v $MOZILLA_HOME/mozilla-bin" and did a "ldconfig -v". This solved 
the missing shared library file problem, but after that, Mozilla just 
gave me segmentation faults. After some hair pulling, googling and 
twiddling around, I experimented with setting LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5, 
and that fixed it, and I am now writing this email on a "recovered" 
Mozilla.

This is really strange -- it seems that every time a new package is 
installed that requires a refresh of the ldconfig, something will break. 
I'm guessing that the NPTL problems are still far from being completely 
resolved.
