Yes, I remember you saying that before. I don't have the faintest idea how this could happen though.

I always had this error, but I ran 2.0 only for a very short time, so I guess I never had Mozilla on 2.0.
It must still be macppc-specific, my U10 doesn't have this particular problem ( just a bunch of probably 64bit-related oddities that usually lead to segfaults or bus errors )

I found the gtk1-based browsers to be slightly more usable.
