The last bug that caused firefox to crash was the buffer overflow in 
msvcrt that i fixed some time ago. this bug is related to window class 
lookup (basically when it looks for a class name, not an atom). win32k 
only searches the classes that were created by the calling process, this 
is however wrong. i'm going to fix it as soon as i get some other 
patches done (likely tomorrow or this weekend). THe problems that no GUI 
is loaded is likely to be related to this bug.

Best Regards
Thomas
