Then it is no surprise that v6.0.2 build with Phillip's and Hsin-Yi's
patches also
failed, giving the same "Gah, tab crashed" and Verneed errors as before
given
the same Firefox windows and tabs test:

I wish there is something I could do to help other than bug reports, but the
squashfs source is way too complex for me ...

Good luck then guys.
