Crashes at nsDocument::RegisterNamedItems(nsIContent*) are the #20 topcrash for Firefox 3.5.4 so far.

Two of the 7 user comments are in Turkish, and a third references a turkish site:

whenever i click to link http://www.hurriyet.com.tr/spor/, it crashes!!!

The other comment with a URL is:
Was trying to do a "advanced search" on http://itu.org when it crashed. Had something like 20 tabs active

This is showing up on both Windows and Mac, and the top of the stack generally seems to be:

1 	xul.dll 	nsDocument::ContentInserted 	content/base/src/nsDocument.cpp:2401

We need an owner here. We're already talking about a short cycle for the new #1 topcrash. It'd be good to fix this as well.
blocking1.9.1: ? → .5+
Boris: Johnny suggested this might be related to changes you made during the 3.5.4 cycle. I think he was thinking of bug 489925, which touched that function.

I can work up some URLs if you think that'd help. Let me know.
> I think he was thinking of bug 489925

The patch landed in that bug was backed out in bug 522030.
Typical stack:

0 	xul.dll 	nsDocument::RegisterNamedItems 	content/base/src/nsDocument.cpp:2364
1 	xul.dll 	nsDocument::ContentInserted 	content/base/src/nsDocument.cpp:2401
2 	xul.dll 	nsNodeUtils::ContentInserted 	content/base/src/nsNodeUtils.cpp:144
3 	xul.dll 	HTMLContentSink::NotifyInsert 	content/html/document/src/nsHTMLContentSink.cpp:3039
4 	xul.dll 	xul.dll@0x32bbb6 	
5 	xul.dll 	HTMLContentSink::FlushTags 	content/html/document/src/nsHTMLContentSink.cpp:3237

6 	xul.dll 	nsContentSink::BeginUpdate 	content/base/src/nsContentSink.cpp:1609
7 	xul.dll 	nsDocument::BeginUpdate 	content/base/src/nsDocument.cpp:3752
8 	xul.dll 	CSSLoaderImpl::InsertSheetInDoc 	layout/style/nsCSSLoader.cpp:1235
9 	xul.dll 	CSSLoaderImpl::LoadStyleLink 	layout/style/nsCSSLoader.cpp:1826
10 	xul.dll 	nsStyleLinkElement::DoUpdateStyleSheet 	content/base/src/nsStyleLinkElement.cpp:313
11 	xul.dll 	nsGenericElement::InsertChildAt 	content/base/src/nsGenericElement.cpp:3203
12 	xul.dll 	HTMLContentSink::ProcessLINKTag 	content/html/document/src/nsHTMLContentSink.cpp:2948

That seems to be all the stacks I've looked at (random sampling of a dozen or so), in fact.

The crash is a null-pointer dereference of the aContent argument to RegisterNamedItems (and by extension ContentInserted).

We should NOT be passing null as aContent to ContentInserted.
Bug 502168 changed the NotifyInsert callsite in HTMLContentSink::FlushTags for 1.9.1.4 in a way that could potentially trigger this.  I bet we're getting a null |child| in some cases.  Olli, want to take a look?

Can we ship the HTML5 parser yet?  ;)
Blocks: 502168
Attached patch wipSplinter Review
For some reason content sink handles *link* leaf tag in a such way that
sink context isn't used when appending the element to parent.
See http://mxr-test.konigsberg.mozilla.org/bonsai/cvsblame.cgi?file=content/html/document/src/nsHTMLContentSink.cpp&xrev=b67fcb2d3fe5&tree=mozilla1.9.1&mark=2428-2429,2433#2418

I need to still understand this all better, and do some testing.
The patch is almost like the one for Bug 468562.
Bug 468562 fixes the crash I see with http://www.hurriyet.com.tr/spor/.
And bug 468562 has been on trunk since last December, so we should probably
take it to branch(es?).
Dbaron, you marked this as blocking1.9.2? Can you actually reproduce this
on 1.9.2?
the crash happens if you load http://www.hurriyet.com.tr/_statikler/nesine.asp
1.9.2 seems unaffected.
Taking bug 468562 on 1.9.1 sounds like an excellent plan to me.
Depends on: 468562

No, just wanted to make sure it's fixed there too if still a problem.
Does this happen on 1.9.0? I'm guessing not since bug 502168 wasn't taken on that branch (and didn't apply to it, aiui).
Flags: wanted1.9.0.x?

Yesterdays build of Namoroka crashed for me with this signature. So 1.9.2 is affected but as it looks like it will be fixed by bug 468562.
Henrik, bug 468562 was fixed back in November 2008, so that fix is on 1.9.2.

The crash report in comment 15 is from a 1.9.1 build, not a 1.9.2 build.

Oh, mixed up the running instances. Sorry. So 1.9.2 is fine and doesn't crash. A recent Grand Paradiso build also doesn't crash so 1.9.0 isn't affected.
Flags: blocking1.9.2?
I've got a similar case: Firefox crashed when i go on www.radioplay.ch

I don't crash on 1.9.1.4 at http://www.hurriyet.com.tr/_statikler/nesine.asp on OS X 10.6. Is this Windows only?
This is a 1.9.1-only crash. the underlying cause was fixed on 1.9.2 in the dependent bug a long time ago.
