I'm not sure if the following applies to your problem, but you might 
want to try it anyways.

I use Mozilla and it appeared to crash a lot recently. Everytime it 
crashed, a message like the one you mention was printed to the console. 
When I started Mozilla from a shell (instead of from the Gnome menu), I 
noticed that when Mozilla exited, a message like

> Fatal error 'Recurse on a private mutex.' at line 988 in file /usr/src/lib/libpthread/thread/thr_mutex.c (errno = 0)
> Abort trap

was printed to the terminal. Searching the CVS log for the file revealed 
that apparently www/linuxpluginwrapper needs to be rebuild. It seems 
that upgrading that port has fixed my problems.

Well, I think this applies only to 5-Stable after Feb 4th, 2005, and 
since you didn't mention which version you're running I don't know if it 
applies to your problem.

HTH,

Phil.
