213852 - Address book crashes when validating a card modification

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: Address Book, defect)

Description

[SADOUNI Matthieu]

User-Agent:       Opera/7.11 (Windows NT 5.1; U)  [en]
Build Identifier: Mozilla Thunderbird 0.1a (20030708)

When you try to modify the last card in alphabetical order in the address book, 
it causes a memory error and crash Thunderbird.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.create a new card
2.change the field 'display name' so that it happens to be the last one in 
alphabetical order
3.validate
4. alternatively you can just try to modifiy anything in the last card in 
alphabetical order, it will crash upon validation

Actual Results:  
the program causes a memory error on windows xp (I couldn't try on another 
system)

Expected Results:  
it should just validate the new information, which is at the moment not saved

Workaround : for the moment I created a card just named 'z', with a display name 
of 'z', which caused the program to crash but now allows me to use it normally

this is a thunderbird 0.1 blocker.

The good news is that I think I have a fix for us to try out.

Attachment: fix which I think accounts for the crash

It definetly removes a bunch of nasty assertions when modifying an address book
card.
