Comment 5 for bug 155415

Hi, John -- Thanks for your comments.

I tried changing the way I launch Thunderbird. Instead of invoking the executable directly, I am now exec'ing it from a shell script that captures any output into a log file. After I did this, Thunderbird courteously obliged by freezing :-}, and I got the following error:

*** glibc detected *** /home/richw/lib/thunderbird/thunderbird-bin: malloc(): memory corruption: 0xaad841a0 ***

plus a backtrace and a memory map, which I'm including here as an attachment.

Since this is my production work environment, I really can't "disable all plugins/addons/extensions" without creating what, for me, would be an unusable setup. If there's any way at all to use the error output I just got to identify any offending add-on, that would be very helpful to me in this situation.
