The latest version of seamonkey will segfault on my machine when viewing certain pages. youtube and discogs.com will produce an immediate segfault. I tried to disable flash in case that was the problem but this did not help. Flash is working in other browsers. I update my machine every monday morning so I can say that I was using 2.16.2-1 without any problems.

Here is the error I receive from seamonkey:

pskept@rift ~ % seamonkey
zsh: segmentation fault (core dumped) seamonkey

The following shows up in /var/log/errors.log after the crash:

Apr 9 09:29:06 rift [87140.457604] systemd-journald[131]: File passed too large. Ignoring.

perhaps this is helpful:

pskept@rift ~ % uname -a
Linux rift 3.8.6-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Apr 6 08:44:16 CEST 2013 i686 GNU/Linux
This task depends upon

Like with firefox, should be recompiled with gcc 4.7.2, at least for now. See  FS#34738

"me too"
Everything up-to-date, and 2.17-1 seamonkey crashes in the first minute after starting browsing, regardless of extensions loaded.
No problem whatsoever after downgrading to 2.16.2-1.

The upstream gcc issue/fix is at http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=56999

The fix will soon be included in our gcc packages, but for now I'll build seamonkey with a local patched gcc build.
