Hi,

I installed the test port on my FreeBSD 6.4 desktop (don't ask) and while
initial indications looked positive, the browser reproducibly crashed
when accessing:

- http://www.slashdot.org/
- http://www.bhphotovideo.com/

The former I don't care about.  The latter I do.  I don't entirely trust
the backtraces, but one crash seemed to be in js_ConcatStrings in libmozjs.so.
I tried enabling debugging symbols in the 'make config' section and
rebuilding, but the libmozjs.so library was still stripped before
installation so I wasn't able to do more investigation.

Thanks.  Regards,

Gary
