Don't worry, it's probably another EST problem.  At least the test
failures I reported yesterday were brushed off as EST problems.  As is
well-known, EST causes crashes in code like this:

0xbbbd45c5 <fcntl+21>:  mov    %gs:0x0,%edi

So just disable EST and firefox should run fine.  Now I just need to
figure out how to disable EST in qemu.
