Hello Everyone,

I had just tried to compile firefox 3.0.5 both from stable source
tarball and the source out of cvs.
the compilation success, but when running firefox, always buffer
overflow.


compilation procedure like the following:
* prepare a very basic .mozconfig [1]
* make -f client.mk build
* compile success
* run compiled firefox in the following dir, obj- at CONFIG_GUESS@/dist/
bin/firefox
* buffer overflow, output pls check [2]

any ideas how to fix this?

system spec:
* ubuntu 8.10 amd64
* gcc version 4.3.2 (Ubuntu 4.3.2-1ubuntu12)


[1] .mozconfig

mk_add_options MOZ_CO_PROJECT=browser
mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR=@TOPSRCDIR@/obj- at CONFIG_GUESS@
ac_add_options --enable-application=browser

[2] buffer overflow output

$ ./obj-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/dist/bin/firefox
