Summary: gxine crashes on x86_64 due to a bug in spidermonkey

Initial Comment:
Gxine from cvs crashes badly on x86_64 (FC 3) due to a
bug in the version of spidermonkey supplied alone with
gxine 

(the line 159 in jsarena.c

for (a = pool->current; a->avail + nb > a->limit;
pool->current = a) {

called from engine_init(), called from in gxine's main()

).

The quick solution for me was to force gxine to use an
external version of spidermonkey, although some
patching of gxine was needed (patches supplied in
attachment). The reason for the patches was the name of
the JS lib (Both Dag and Matthias Saou build the JS
shared lib called libjs and not the libsmjs).
