Hi Pete, that's because I'd upgraded before building the most recent releases and didn't think of downgrading, so linked against the most recent that had new exports. This may also be true for my last Firefox build but not for earlier builds or Bitwise builds. In Klipp's case, his problems started after doing a yum upgrade, which shouldn't have downgraded libcx. Also why I asked which version/build.
Bitwise has been adding functionality to libcx for a while, this includes functions that were previously unsupported on OS/2, configure finds them and uses different code paths.
It'll get more interesting as Bitwise has decided to fork libc, as libcn, which I'd assume will also rapidly evolve.
Hi Roberto, the exceptq DLL is dynamically loaded, so usually not used and more and more projects use it as the functionality is now in libcx. While things will work fine without it, crashes will be much less informative.
As for safe-mode, you should be able to make everything permanent, add-ons, plugins and such all turned off.
It's usually add-ons that create problems, especially if you have lots and there's a conflict somewhere, though as Ivan found, some plugins also cause problems
