240889 - Crash when selecting a folder of an IMAP server in mailnews - Trunk [@ nsMsgDatabase::ClearNewList ]

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Ere Maijala (slow)]

Using build 2004041509 on WinXP. I've had multiple crashes when selecting a
folder of an IMAP server. At least twice the crash happened when I selected one
folder and then quite quickly another. I don't know if the component is correct.
Two talkback id's:
TB20516G
TB19738M

Asa has said there's something wrong with the system, those are not the only
ones the web system doesn't find.

A new crash, TB26082Y, still using build 2004041509 on WinXP. Now the stack
seems to be available. The crash happens at 
nsMsgDatabase::ClearNewList
[c:/builds/tinderbox/MozillaTrunk/WINNT_5.0_Clobber/mozilla/mailnews/db/msgdb/src/nsMsgDatabase.cpp,
line 2277]

Attachment: proposed fix for clearnewlist crash

this is just a guess, but this might fix the clearnewlist crash...

proposed fix for clearnewlist crash

david is this something we need for 0.6 or is the crashed caused by a 1.8
checkin?

Comment 7

[David :Bienvenu]

it's from a  1.8 checkin, the one that added support for larger mailboxes. This
patch was checked in - hopefully it'll fix the crash.

I am experiencing this crash only with my POP3 folders, but not with my IMAP
folders. My talkback IDs: TB19949X TB19950Q TB19951K TB25508K

Comment 9

[David :Bienvenu]

please let me know if you experience a crash with a 4/21 build or later (the fix
would apply to both pop3 and imap folders - it's not imap-specific)

Comment 10

[David :Bienvenu]

marking fixed - please re-open if this occurs with a later build (after 4/20)

Comment 11

[David :Bienvenu]

I haven't seen a crash in the talkback reports with a build after 04/20.

Comment 12

[Ere Maijala (slow)]

I haven't had a crash either.
