Package: iceweasel
Version: 6.0.2-1
Severity: important


After having to upgrade iceweasel (because of dependency requirements) to either 5.* or to 6.* it started
randomly crashing. It runs for a few minutes and then I receive this error on the console:

###!!! ABORT: Request 155.34: BadLength (poly request too large or
internal Xlib length error); 215 requests ago: file
/build/buildd-iceweasel_6.0.2-1-i386-0rGvYM/iceweasel-6.0.2/toolkit/xre/nsX11ErrorHandler.cpp,
line 199

To make sure it's not the add-ons, I ran it like this:
MOZILLA_DISABLE_PLUGINS=1 gdb --args /usr/lib/iceweasel/firefox-bin -g -safe-mode

And got the stack trace:
(gdb) bt full

It's obviously not coming from iceweasel, but I don't
have any clue on what package to change to fix this problem. I already upgraded
my Xorg packages.

I would appreciate if you can give me any insight (I assume it's some
package I stupidly forgot to upgrade)

Thanks!
