Other information:
Devhelp has been running for quite a few hours
in this session. Most of the time it has sat idle,
but I've been paging around in it quite a bit too.

Looks like a libgtkembedmoz.so problem.

Comment 1 Artemia Salina 2005-12-19 07:33:16 UTC

I Should point out that this happened on a Slackware 10.2 box running
GNOME2.12.1 0.9 from Free Rock Gnome, if that's any help.

Good luck. Nice help browser.

Comment 2 Christian Persch 2006-02-18 18:56:27 UTC

Fixed by the patch from bug #329928.
