 Replying to [comment:2 gk]:
 > That's the first crash of this type I've seen. So, no, we don't know of
 any other user having this problem.

 That's probably because most of this goes under the radar since there's no
 validation on the lib during startup. Some modded ie. patched (see
 previous post) libxul.so just runs fine without the user noticing. Besides
 that, when TBB suddenly exits it doesn't always generate a segfault. Not
 all users investigate and report bugs, etc. I would like so suggest
 checksum validation on at least libxul.so as a enhancement for your
 project.
