Firefox crashing after portupgrade 13 July

   Hi folks,

Problem: Firefox segmentation faults when using link encryption. This
    happens on AMD64 and i386 versions (Opteron and P4 processors)
    as well as Firefox 1.5, 2.0.0.3 and 2.0.0.4. 

        When SSL or TLS is involved, I get a seg fault. This is 
    seen whether the web site is ebay or Bank of America. 

        Things were "running fine" before 13 July, when I did a 
    ports (only) upgrade. I have dropped the ports back to 17
    June on one of the systems, and will retry from there.

        I have deleted the /var/db/ports/firefox/options file,
    and tried rebuilding firefox with very basic options, and my
    make.conf file has NOT changed between the "working" and not
    working period. 

	Mozilla 1.7.13 IS working, so what would be the basic
    differences on how they handle link encryption?

        Suggestions?

                                                Thanks,
                                                        Bruce
