firefox freeze - libpango corrupted double-linked list

fails on my gutsy system also even with all firefox plugins disabled

Have included output of firefox when it fails with a "corrupted double-linked list" error

Firefox on an XP system in vmware does not have any problem with it

Seems to be linked to the pango library

A around of this issue is to disable pango
at beginning of (after the first line)
/usr/lib/firefox/firefox
add
export MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO=1

ON my work laptop everithing work well.
My Desktop and my Laptop are configured in the same way (more or less)
This evening i will try the proposed solution and i will try to find which library cause this issue

I think the news page changed and the new one does not cause a problem anymore for me neither

Ideally we'd need a page that crashes firefox/libpango systematically

If anyone has one please attach it to this bug

I attach the html page saved from firefox history cache of my laptop. This shuold be the page that last night
cause the problem on my desktop but not on my laptop. The css file are missing so the page has wrong format.
 I am not sure about it but i can't test on my desktop now. i hope this help

The problem is present on my laptop too. Initially i thought no because my laptop has
 a display 1024X768 so the firefox viewport is smaller than to my laptop.

The problem appears only whe a try to view a specific area of the html page.

I have created a tar file (LaRepubblica.itHomepage.tgz) from my cache to reproduce the problem.
It isen't generate only with a "save as" but i had manualy modify the html source file (for example
to use right css file)

The problem is caused from this html:

        <a href="/news/ired/ultimora/2006/rep_nazionale_n_2647600.html?ref=hpsbdx4">
            <strong>Milano, 22:32</strong>
            &#8212; BERLUSCONI: DOPO FOTO SU OGGI VERONICA E&#039; RIMASTA, AHIME&#0...
        </a>

When i try to view this section of the web page (to the top right, column "24 ORE AGI" ,
near "BERLUSCONI: DOPO FOTO SU OGGI VERONICA E RIMASTA, AHIME") firefox freeze
(see screenshot.jpg)

Hi,

  thanks for the attachment
  it now also fails systematically on my system too

  I'll set the bug as confirmed and try to see if I can create a simpler page that reproduces the same error

It seems that the following character is causing problems

&#0...

the &# construct is supposed be followed by a number indicating the unicode of the character and then a ;

the 0... seems to be incorrect

however, the fact that firefox on ubuntu freezes on this problem is obviously not good
