On a almost identical testsystem firefox en thunderbird segfault after upgrading to 3.4.0. I would have been nice if it would behave exaclty like my home server. I bisected the segfault to: commit 0fc9d1040313047edf6a39fd4d7c7defdca97c62 Author: Konstantin Khlebnikov Date: Wed Mar 28 14:42:54 2012 -0700 radix-tree: use iterators in find_get_pages* functions When I revert that on top of 3.4.0 the segfaults are gone but both firefox en thunderbird go in the lets wait indefinitely mode like the homeserver. I am going to make a bit-wise copy from from my homeserver to my testserver and try again. -- Hans
