Okay, I can repeat the problem here. Starting Mozilla-linux several
times makes it eventually start properly and run (apparently) fine.
Appears some file pages may not be loaded properly, leading to spurious
SIGSEGV.  It may be the same problem which has been occurring with
the native threads and native Mozilla some months ago.

I do not recall what was the exact fix to the 'native' Mozilla case.
Perhaps that needs to be extended to handle also address space
shared via clone(2)?

The new libs also use new Linux syscall exit_group(), but that happens
only in fatal signal handling (such as SIGSEGV), and is not causing
the problem AFAICS from kdump.
