Firefox, Mozilla, & Thunderbird won't start (again!)

[George W. Dinolt]

Do you include linuxflashplugin and does your startup page include 
reference to something that requires flash?

I can bring up firefox 1.0.5 and it works fine until I reference a page 
that uses flash. The program crashes with the same message that you see. 
  I see the same behavior with Mozilla, galeon and epiphany (all use the 
mozilla display technology). I did not see this problem in 1.0.4.

The G_MAXLONG has been appearing on my systems for some time now, 
certainly with 1.0.4.

I am running 7.0 current with the relevant ports up to date.

Regards,
George Dinolt

You're right...starting mozilla-bin throws the same warning.
Only, in my case, the apps. start and run normally.
