www/firefox error on startup

[mj12net]

I get the following error starting www/firefox in a terminal after portmaster compiles it...

(process:79310): GLib-CRITICAL **: void g_slice_set_config(GSliceConfig, gint64): assertion `sys_page_size == 0' failed

Anyone know what it means and how to get rid of it? Can it be ignored?

kldload shm and probably kldload sem while you're at it.

kldload shm and probably kldload sem while you're at it.

What do these do?

kldload shm : no such file or directory

Same error here, but I took it to be another breathless but unimportant warning. It runs fine.

My bad, `sysvshm` is the module. They are IPC (Inter Process Communication) helpers, that Firefox uses to run other applications in the browser context, like plugins. It's possible that Firefox reverts to another mechanism and thus that this is really a warning disguised as error.
You won't be able to run HTML5 video using gstreamer, java, flash and stuff like that, without some working IPC mechanism.
