(mozilla blocker) Message-ID: <19991217003307.A26322@shaka.acc.umu.se> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 1.0i Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello.. A while ago a bug was revealed (and fixed) regarding dlopen() and symbols behaviour in FreeBSD when loading shared libraries. This was (as far as I've understood it) fixed in -CURRENT, but never brought into -STABLE. This bug is a blocker for Mozilla on FreeBSD 3.x (which is the current FreeBSD stable branch). Mozilla simply won't run without it. Is there by any chance that someone, pretty pretty please with sugar on top, would bring this fix back into -STABLE? This FreeBSD PR has all info needed: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=12438 This bug filed in Bugzilla describes why Mozilla depends on this fix: http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14676 I'm volunteering to help with my limited skills!
