This started around the late 1.5.0.x versions and also happens in FF 2.0
When saving a file, e.g. an e-mail attachment, right-click->Save Link
As... on a webpage, or uploading a file to a web forum, it will work
once - maybe twice - but on subsequent saves the dialogue opens but the
cursor stays as 'busy' for ~15 seconds, then FF/TB segfault and crash.

This is a stack trace of the core dump - both FF and TB give the same trace.

Previous frame identical to this frame (corrupt stack?)
(gdb) total 19
What is very suspicious is the last line if the trace about a corrupt
stack. Looks like it is a threading problem but since I can't find any
other posts about this happening I guess it's just my system. Since my
system is 6 months old (6.1-RC) do you think doing a make world to bring
it up to 6.2 would solve the problem?
Thanks.

Mark
