Comment:
I can confirm this bug, and I couldn't even build TBB without getting a
segfault.
After some digging I found this
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=770819 and this
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=771569.
I looks like a glibc bug interacts badly with a hack that Firefox pulls on
the ELF structure (apparently to speed things up:
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14341#c0).
Mozilla appears to have fixed this in 10esr
(https://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-esr10/rev/2ffb11d8b2f8), so we
should have a fix for this when we update to 10.0.6.
Anyway, I am building TBB now with --disable-elf-hack to see if it fixes
the issue.
