Obviously not. ;-)

I can reproduce your problem. "regchrome", the last thing the
installation script runs, is what's dumping core. It also dumps core
for me when run manually in "/usr/X11R6/lib/mozilla" with
LD_LIBRARY_PATH and MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME set to '.' and exported (just
like the script does). Also with my shell limits jacked up.

Running "gdb" over the core file causes it to dump core for me, too,
but here's what I get if I actually run it under the debugger:

Perhaps a string is being free()'d that was never allocated? I also
ran under "ktrace" with MALLOC_OPTIONS=AU, and it seems that malloc()
is never called at all.
