Hmm, interesting.  I'm using this build:

ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/netbsd-2-0/unofficial/200411121400/amd64/
(reports itself as NetBSD2.0_RC5 I think)
Latest pkgsrc, generic kernel.  Since pkgsrc is using 3.4.2 gcc to
build it, I would suspect it is not going to work without it, something
to do with a compiler bug that was mentioned some weeks/months ago I
think.  Anyway, I did a wipe of a much older install awhile ago (with
which I had experienced the core dumps), which apparently fixed a
threading problem?  I haven't been following the list as closely as I
should, but I seem to recall that was the issue in the old kernel
causing the mozilla segfaults.

HTH,
Dave
