Hello Bernhard,

thanks for your reply!
I will try to reproduce your findings on real hardware tomorrow.

Can you have a look at the qupzilla and/or xombrero issue as well please? I'm not sure anymore if it's the same problem,
because meanwhile I installed a qemu vm myself (on Wheezy/amd64) using these settings:

qemu-system-i386 -cpu pentium -m 512 -hda pentium.img -cdrom debian-jessie-DI-rc3-i386-netinst.iso

Then I installed a standard LXDE desktop and could reproduce the browser crashes but not the video player crashes.
So far I have no gdb results because I only have very basic knowledge about it and a simple "run" command alone wasn't helpful.

Doesn't Jessie's libav configure script already check for a K6-2 and disable i686? [1]
I don't know because I'm not sure what's actually stored in $cpu at that point.

regards
hikaru
