101592 - Mozilla crashes if compacting a folder with many messages marked to be deleted.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 97497

(MailNews Core :: Networking: IMAP, defect)

Description

[Michael Lee Yohe]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.4) Gecko/20010913
BuildID:    2001091323

I have started noticing this problem when I upgraded from an 0.9.3+ build to
0.9.4 milestone.  The large problem is, I cannot seem to duplicate the scenario.
 In general, when I accumulate a large number of messages to be deleted, I
specify "Compact Folders" to remove these marked messages.  If Mozilla has been
up and running for a long time, the entire cluster of processes crash.

Upon restarting Mozilla, I notice the "Compact Folders" operation did expunge
the messages from the IMAP server - so apparently the crash happens a bit after
the actual expunge process.

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select a large number of messages to be deleted.
2. Select "Compact Folders".

Actual Results:  1. Mozilla crashes.

Expected Results:  1. Mozilla expunges messages from IMAP server.
2. Mozilla refreshes the folder with current contents.

I've seen this over the last few months.  It may be a dup of bug 97497.

Finally had a Talkback window open, too--most of the time Mozilla just exits
with no error output.

reassigning to naving.  This sounds like a dup, but I'll let Navin make the
final call on that.
