Bug#608893: epiphany-browser: Epiphany immediately crashes upon launching: Segmentation fault

[Steven Sciame]

I was able to get Epiphany to open and stay open(it seems to do this about 1 out of every 20 times you try to open it)  It will not load a page.  If I close Epiphany, it seems to resort to the same behavior(asking me if I want to recover and then crashing no matter the choice)   

I looked in the dpkg.log and I didn't see the suggested packages.

Could you have a look in dpkg.log at which packages were upgraded at
that time and downgrade the suspicious ones? They would be:

> ii  libcairo2           1.8.8-2~bpo50+1      The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra
> ii  libglib2.0-0        2.22.4-1~bpo50+1     The GLib library of C routines
> ii  libgtk2.0-0         2.18.6-1~bpo50+1     The GTK+ graphical user interface 
> ii  libnspr4-0d         4.8.6-1~bpo50+1      NetScape Portable Runtime Library

My bets go to libnspr, since the xulrunner version in lenny loads a
different version of the library in the same address space.

Cheers,
