92626 - Browser crashes on pages herein

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core Graveyard :: Java: OJI, defect)

Description

[beanladen]

Linux 2.4.6 /gcc 2.95 / build 2001071909

The browser crashes if you follow one of the links in the above
page (javascript ON, of course).

If you follow the underlying link the pedestrian way to /mx/isme.html 
(type it into the url bar), none of the sound examples work.

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

Do you have the java plugin installed?

No crash here, Solaris build 2001-07-26-22 with no Java plugin...

Comment 2

[Phil Schwartau]

I am crashing on Linux with the Java2 plugin installed...

This site uses applets and the Java plugin, and the crash seems to be 
related to that. I crash on Linux with a Mozilla debug build (2001-07-14)
However, I don't crash on WinNT with a debug build from the same date.

On WinNT, I get a blank space in the page where the applet is 
supposed to run. It's a light-grey color in a rectangle at lower-left 
of the "SERENDIP Museum Exhibit window that comes up. 

I see this in the WinNT Java Console:

Gauss init
GaussAux constr
GaussAux init
SpectrumPlot init start
Gauss start
GaussAux start
java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.lang.RuntimePermission 
accessClassInPackage.sun.audio)

	at SpectrumPlot.init(SpectrumPlot.java:406)
	at sun.applet.AppletPanel.run(Unknown Source)
	at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)


I will attach the Linux stack trace below -

On Linux: in the Mozilla debug console just before the crash:

Internal error: Null plugin manager
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x418c118d in ?? () from 
/u/pschwartau/system/plugins/Java2/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so


Reassigning to Plug-ins component -

Funny that it seems to be OJI... I had java 
TURNED OFF when that browser crashed !
Something wrong with the switches ??

Comment 9

[Sergey Lunegov]

I couldn't reproduce this bug on the following platforms and builds:
Linux: MOZILLA_0_9_2_BRANCH (sources from 08/21/2001)
       MOZILLA_0_9_3_BRANCH (sources from 08/20/2001)
       trunk build (obtained from ftp.mozilla.org -- latest build)

Solaris: MOZILLA_0_9_2_BRANCH (sources from 08/21/2001)

Browser does not crash.
I got the same exception mentioned in the above comments (WinNT) :

ava.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.lang.RuntimePermission 
accessClassInPackage.sun.audio)
        at java.security.AccessControlContext.checkPermission(Unknown Source)
        at java.security.AccessController.checkPermission(Unknown Source)

        at sun.applet.AppletPanel.run(Unknown Source)
        at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)

I think this exception is caused by the rule that if
applet play *au files it must be signed (in Java 2)

I couldn't reproduce this crash on windows 98 and linux rehdat 6.2
(2002-01-28-06-trunk). However, there's an error occurred in js windows:

Gauss init

Gauss start

Anyway, it works fine on netscape 4.x though.
