[Bug 331962] Re: firefox hangs for emapsite applet, strace shows EAGAIN repeatedly

[Tim Abell]

i switched to Java(TM) Plug-in 1.6.0_13-b03 provided by...
$ apt-cache policy sun-java6-bin
sun-java6-bin:
  Installed: 6-13-1
  Candidate: 6-13-1
  Version table:
 *** 6-13-1 0
        500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty/multiverse Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

I also moved my ~/.mozilla folder out of the way to get a clean session,
and tried disabling all other plugins except the java one.

I don't know if it matters but the numbers emitted by strace vary each time I launch firefox get stuck and try again, eg:
read(79, 0xbfaa2920, 4)                 = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)
read(79, 0xbfaa2920, 4)                 = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)
or
read(65, 0xbfa87b60, 4)                 = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)
read(65, 0xbfa87b60, 4)                 = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)

I did attach gdb to firefox to try and get more info, but haven't got very far yet.
ps -A | grep firefox
gdb --pid 9812
