103527 - Crashes when logging into a hotmail account

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

Description

** Observed with 20011050 optimized Mozilla trunk build built from
   the source with "BUILD_PSM2=1 and MOZ_DEBUG=" **

I have been seeing this problem for a couple of days only with 
a Mozilla trunk build built from source with the above otion set 
to include PSM2.  Here's the steps:

1. Use a latest optimized trunk build built from source. Go to hotmail.com
2. Login by supplying the user ID and then your password.
3. After step 2, a warning dialog comes up asking you if you want to
   remember the password. I usually say "No" to this and then right after
   that I get a crash.
4. Error message says: "Unhandled exception in mozilla.exe (PIPNSS.DLL)..."

Additional notes:

5. Interestingly, this crash does not occur if I use a published non-debug
   build of the same day from Mozilla.org.
   But this published build crashes with an XPCOM.DLL error when I
   try to log out of the Passport system/Hotmail.

6. I compared the 2 PIPNSS.DLL files between my optimized build 
   and the Mozilla.org's build of the same day. The latter is 694KB 
   while the former is 654KB.

7. For an experiment, I replaced the problem DLL with the one from
   Mozilla.org and the problem does not occur. But in that case, there is
   a crash as I try to log out of Passport.

8. This crash ccurs 100% of the time for me so far.

Marking works for me. Reporter, please reopen if you are still seeing this 
problem with a recent build.
