Ah, thanks. Matches what I independently came up with :-)

I've debugged the underlying cause and will be submitting a patch to

For the purposes of the archive, I have this bug open:

https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xulrunner-1.9.2/+bug/536950

I'd love to not have to maintain this in the PPA, but asac's comment in
that bug doesn't sound very positive.


Max.
