output of 'strace thunderbird'

Dear all,
I have Thunderbird 31.4.0 installed from the repositories.

When i start thunderbird on opensuse 13.2, it crashes on startup with a
segmentation fault:
:~> thunderbird 

(process:2725): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion 'sys_page_size
== 0' failed
Segmentation fault

'journalctl' says:
kernel: thunderbird-bin[2725]: segfault at 7fd44619a95d ip 00007fd459a30348 sp
00007fffa0261208 error 7 in libc-2.19.so[7fd4599ac000+19e000]


I installed thunderbird-31.5.0, thunderbird-24.8.1, thunderbird-36.0b1 from the
mozilla site by hand with the same result. The same packages work fine on
opensuse 13.1. So i do not think it is a thunderbird problem, but something
with glibc.

I attached the output of 'strace thunderbird'. 
Remarkable is the line
'prctl(PR_SET_PTRACER, 0x108f, 0x9d, 0, 0) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)'
in the end which does not appear on opensuse 13.1

Do you know how to fix it or how to work araound?

Thank you in advance, ulrich
