When I install Linux build using (2000-09-22-08 M180, it does not complete. In

fenella and I already know that this is invalid. but I wanted a bug on it for
two reasons:

1) someone will hit it again
2) twalker has seen it

Here's what was happening:

fenella was low on space on /tmp

I found this out using strace:

strace -f ./netscape-installer >& log.txt
[we get the failure, and exit]
cat log.txt | grep "open" | grep "tmp"

[pid 22624] open("/tmp/.tmp.xi.0/xpcom.xpi", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, 0666) = 8
[pid 22624] open("/tmp/.tmp.xi.0/browser.xpi", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, 0666) =
10
[pid 22624] open("/tmp/.tmp.xi.0/mail.xpi", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, 0666) = 12
[pid 22624] open("/tmp/.tmp.xi.0/AIM.xpi", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, 0666) = 14
[pid 22624] open("/tmp/.tmp.xi.0/psm.xpi", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, 0666) = 16
[pid 22624] open("/tmp/.tmp.xi.0/spellchecker.xpi", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC,
0666) = 18
[pid 22624] open("/tmp/.tmp.xi.0/talkback.xpi", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, 0666)
= 20
[pid 22624] open("/tmp/.tmp.xi.0/deflenus.xpi", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, 0666)
= 22
[pid 22624] open("/tmp/.tmp.xi.0/langenus.xpi", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, 0666)
= 24
[pid 22624] open("/tmp/.tmp.xi.0/xpcom.xpi", O_RDONLY) = 24
[pid 22624] open("/tmp/.tmp.xi.0/bin/libplds4.so", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC,
0666) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/tmp/", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|0x10000) = 4

so the problem was we were failing to extract libplds4.so because we were low on
space.

this is probably worth a relnote.

I've been seeing the following terminal screen message for several days.  It
doesn't stop me from testing.

[Daniel Veditz [:dveditz]]

twalker: what does that have to do with this bug? That is the sample 
javascript component demostrating deferred registration by returning 
NS_ERROR_FACTORY_REGISTER_AGAIN.

Are you seeing this in installer builds? If so somehow the sample.js component 
mistakenly has gotten into the product. If not, then it would seem even less 
relevant to a bug about installer failure.

This is what I've been seeing...fanella mentioned that I'd been seeing this bug. 
 Just thought I'd put in the info that I was seeing and let those that know what 
it means sort it out.  I don't know the code or what the errors mean.
