Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Networking: Cookies, defect, P3)

Description

[Dusty Jones]

Whenever a cookie is set from the local httpd daemon usign the url
http://127.0.0.1 the browser will crash with
./run-mozilla.sh: line 72: 7485 Segmentation fault  $prog ${1+"$@"}
However, replace 127.0.0.1 with the hostname and everything works flawlessly.
This might be related to #19427, Results with nightly build 20-Nov-2000 and
build from 18-Nov-2000

I doubt that this has anything to do with bug 19427.  But I suspect this is 
strongly related to bug 55878.  Although the symptoms are slightly different, 
both are involved with crashes when visiting 127.0.0.1.

Fix for bug 56644 has been checked in.  That patch also contained a fix for bug 
55878 which, as I mentioned above, I suspect is the cause of the crash reported 
here.

Therefore closing this out as fixed.  If the problem is still occuring, then 
please reopen this report and give a detailed set of steps for reproducing this 
crash.
