[Bug 571308] Re: Thunderbird crashes with segmentation fault

[ngerima]

I can confirm that I too have seen this particular error. My setup is
very similar to everyone else´s, home directories are attached to the
workstations from a NFS server, and user authentication is done by LDAP.

I´ve been able to duplicate the segmentation fault errors with
thunderbird. I have also seen the same problem with gtkpod (of all
applications?).

Surprisingly enough, I was able to resolve this issue by installing the
nscd package. Once it was installed, the segmentation fault error
messages (miraculously) went away. I was immediately able to load
thunderbird without issue and gtkpod also ran without a hitch. Years of
system administration have taught me to be cautious, so I rebooted each
workstation several times to confirm that the fix would continue
working, and sure enough it did.

I hope this helps.

Thanks.
