    The resolver code in libc was updated on February 25 and it was
    recommended that threaded applications that use the resolver be rebuilt.
    Mozilla and firefox were mentioned as examples of things that should be
    rebuilt.

    I rebuilt mozilla and firefox after this change and haven't had any
    problems. On the other hand, if running older versions of these
    applications locks up the system, that is a severely bad thing and needs
    to be investigated to fix the kernel bug that is allowing this to
    happen.
