FTR, i cannot reproduce this anymore.

i've updated iolib to the latest on dwim.hu. i didn't update
libfixposix because this repo is gone:

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/sionescu/Debian_Squeeze/./Packages

then i tried the darcsweb.cgi with chrome and it works. so, no backtrace... :)
