i am using firefox 0.93 on freebsd 5.21p11 - it crashes once in a 
while when loading 'ordinary' pages with "chunk already free" and
a segfault. when i try loading them again later it usually works. 
from googling i learned that this might be related to Xft...
anybody got a solution to that (apart from disabling Xft, it looks
so nice ;-)? 

it also almost inevitably crashes if i close a window that was
previously popped up by javascript; and the flashplugin (i use one
of the netscape plugins from the jdk1.4.2 plugins directory) seems
to have issues, too. any advice on these would also be greatly 
appreciated.

regards,
Volker.
