mozilla keeps crashing on startup

I've rebuilt www/mozilla thrice already, but it keeps seg-faulting on
startup:

	% mozilla
	Error: No running window found.
	Segmentation fault

no window ever opens...

My machine is 5.3-STABLE #4: Fri Nov 19 21:18:00 EST 2004. The only
"odd" thing about it, is that it is a dual PentiumII. So it may be
multi-threading issue. That or something with the `-march=pentium2' --
there was once a problem with CPU-specific flags and mozilla.

On another -- single P4 -- machine I have little problems starting
mozilla, although sometimes it fails to start due to some X11 error.
Since simply restarting again helps in those cases, I suspect, there
is some race problem in initialization code, amplified by the SMP.

Or is this something totally different? Thanks!
