Description Mark Howard 2004-03-19 15:53:53 UTC 
http://bugs.debian.org/236403 reports a reproducible (for him) freeze, with
strace offer:

If i point galeon to http://www.lycoris.com it freezes (probably due to
flash content of the website). So i stop it through the window
manager(wmaker)
and rerun it from command line, when it freezes instantly on startup.
Checking running jobs i discovered that i still had four instances of
galeon-bin and a gconfd running. After killing those galeon could run
again.

I can reproduce the bug every time i try. I have a strace of a
successful bug reproduction session, it's 4 MB long, i can send it to
you if you want to.

This is almost certainly a problem with the flash plugin. The reporter should
upgrade to the latest mozilla / galeon and flash plugin, and try again. Failing
that, he should test in mozilla directly to see if it freezes.

Mark pinged the submitter in march, and I pinged him in the beginning of
december, I closed the bug in Debian and notified the submitter he can reopen it
if he wishes.  Hence, I'm closing here too!  :)
