I can't reproduce this problem too, but as someone perhaps may remember:
I had problems with moz 1.6, so I reverted to moz 1.5. Due to the
resolver changes in -current and because of expat and freetype2, I
rebuild by ports and tried moz 1.7. It crashes too (e.g. www.invdeo.de
or www.gnomedesktop.org). Running it within gdb (mozilla -g) produces
"Program terminated with signal SIGTRAP, Trace/breakpoint trap.". At the
moment I'm rebuilding it with --enable-debug, --enable-tests and
--disable-strip. While building it I got
---snip---
gmake[4]: Leaving directory `/big/usr/ports/www/mozilla-devel/work/mozilla/security/nss/cmd/shlibsign/mangle'
FreeBSD5.2_DBG.OBJ/shlibsign -v -i /big/usr/ports/www/mozilla-devel/work/mozilla/dist/lib/libsoftokn3.so
Assertion failure: _PT_PTHREAD_MUTEX_IS_LOCKED(lock->mutex), at ptsynch.c:207

gmake[3]: Leaving directory `/big/usr/ports/www/mozilla-devel/work/mozilla/security/nss/cmd/shlibsign'
gmake[2]: *** [libs] Error 2
---snip---

Running shlibsign within gdb works fine, no assertion failure. ATM I'm
continuing the build and hope that the resulting binary runs within gdb.

Bye,
Alexander.
