Description Don Lewis freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2006-02-06 16:00:21 UTC 
	Firefox-1.5.0.1,1 stores a directory name in a character array
	on the stack.  It saves a pointer to that character array and
	uses it to access the array contents after the array has gone
	out of scope.  The old contents seem to get trashed on 4-STABLE,
	causing firefox to create a subdirectory under ~/.mozilla with
	a name generated from stack garbage.

	This problem does not seem to occur on 7-STABLE.

How-To-Repeat: 	Build and run firefox-1.5 on a 4-STABLE, i386 machine.
