FYI: looks like the problem is not Firefox, but nscd related...
Trying to start the latest firefox today, I get again:
lrupp@nagios-abuild:~> firefox
firefox: nss_nis/nis-netgrp.c:75: _nss_nis_setnetgrent: Assertion
`malloc_usable_size (netgrp->data) >= len + 1' failed.
/usr/bin/firefox: line 128: 18974 Aborted $MOZ_PROGRAM "$@"
But now I looked a but further for the problem...
The interesting detail is in dmesg:
rpcbind: server machcd not responding, timed out
resp. in /var/log/messages:
Aug 24 20:52:49 linux-wsxp kernel: rpcbind: server machcd not responding, timed
out
So it looks like a RPC/Caching problem - first suspect application in this
area: nscd
nagios-abuild:~ # /etc/init.d/nscd status
Checking for Name Service Cache Daemon: dead
nagios-abuild:~ # /etc/init.d/nscd start
Starting Name Service Cache Daemon done
lrupp@nagios-abuild:~> firefox
*** nss-shared-helper: Shared database disabled (set NSS_USE_SHARED_DB to
enable).
^^ firefox starts as expected.
So I'll open a new bug against nscd in the next days, when I've debugged the
problem a bit more. In the end, it's interesting for me that (at the moment)
only firefox can't start if nscd is down. Up to you, Wolfgang, to decide if
this is a bug in firefox or not. Other applications (KDE-Apps, Opera) work as
expected, even if nscd is down....
