Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core Graveyard :: Java: OJI, defect)

Hi,

when going to my internet banking page (click the "Start - Installierbares
Applet" button once you have the Netscape 6.2.2 Java2 plugin installed; this
will try to install the installable applet to your harddisk), the browser
crashes greatly and throws 180+ MByte core dumps after a fresh start. If you
have any address to send the dumps to ... (~ 3 MByte each bzipped)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to the above page
2. Press "Start" 
3. Enjoy

Actual Results:  Hard crash with 180+ MByte core dumps. 

Expected Results:  Open the homebanking interface like netscape 4.7.x does. 

As with Netscape 6.x, text entry fields aren't adjusted correctly. It appears
that the fields are squashed vertically, and show only the upper ~50% of the
entered text which makes it unreadable. Netscape 4.7.x displays the entry fields
correctly. This can be seen on the same page as above when you click the "Start
- Ladbares Applet" button (loadable applet).

WFM with build 2002052306 under Windows ME. Reporter, please use the latest 
Java plug-in.

Hi,

ftp://ftp.netscape.de/pub/netscape6/english/6.2.2/unix/linux22/plugins/jre131_02.xpi
is the latest Java plugin as far as I can see, and certainly the one that is
downloaded automatically when needed. And this is not Windows ME but SuSE Linux
7.1 w/ kernel 2.4.18.

I tried to upload the core file but each time Bugzilla eventually comes up with
a new passwerd request although I am already logged in. Mozilla uses like 80%
CPU for a while, then finally the login window comes up, I enter my e-mail and
password, click login, and then Bugzilla says "no file for upload selected". A
Bugzilla Bug?

Anyway, can/should I send you the core file (3 MB bzip2'ed) via e-mail directly?

Seemed WFM on Netscape 7.0 with JRE 1.4.1beta, on Redhat Linux. After clicking "
 Installierbare Anwendung", a popup window came up with the message attached
below. No crash. (Did not see "Start" button). Then after click on "Ladbare
Anwendung", the login window was loaded and displayed, and I was able to type in
some text in the login fields.

Reporter, could you try Netscape 7.0 (download from netscape.com) with JRE
1.4.1beta (download from java.sun.com/j2se), and see what happens?


"Sehr geehrte Kundin,
sehr geehrter Kunde,

aus technischen Gründen steht Ihnen die "Installierbare Anwendung" zur Zeit
nicht zur Verfügung. Bitte starten Sie das Internet Banking über den Link
"Ladbare Anwendung".

Wir bitten um Ihr Verständnis.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Ihre Kreissparkasse Ebersberg"

Current URL https://spk-sdb.izb-hb.de/KSPK_Ebersberg/ doesn't seem to have
any Java applet.  Reporter, is there another page that demonstrates the
same behavior?

One must click the "Ladbare Anwendung" to start up the applet.  WFM, using
2002092104 build, Linux 2.4.19 i686, XFree86 4.2.0, glibc-2.2.5-34,
JRE 1.4.1fc

Using linux nightly 2002112908 with java 1.4.1. I can't reproduce this. The page
currently has four links on it. "Installierbare Anwendung" just opens a popup
window which apparently directs me to "Ladbare Anwendung". "Ladbare Anwendung"
and "Macintosh Anwendung" both start an applet which exhibit no problems.
"System-Check" opens another popup window. No crashes or other obvious problems.

Harald, can you reproduce this problem with a current version of mozilla and
java? If so,c could you provide an update on how to reproduce this? It seems the
site might have been modified since you originally submitted this.

Yippppieee! With Mozilla 1.2.1 and JRE 1.4.1 the homebanking applet works just
fine. Case closed.

-- The applet just works fine on latest trunk build on WinXP with JRE1.4.1_02.
Browser doesnot crash. Marking Verified.
