104616 - Denying internet access with ZoneAlarm leads to crash

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Networking, defect)

Description

[Tom 7]

Steps:
Install ZoneAlarm (personal firewall; zonealarm.com).
Start a new Mozilla nightly build.

Zonealarm prompts, do you wish to let mozilla act as a server?
do you wish to let mozilla access the internet?

say 'no' to both of these prompts.

Result:

Mozilla crashes. The instruction at 0x77f83941 referenced memory at "0x00000010"; memory could not be written. (probably interpreting an error code as a pointer).

Expected result:

Mozilla should start, allowing me to view local pages; etc. (Or at least fail gracefully!)

Does this crash still happen with latest builds?

I'm using win98, and denying the internet access to mozilla doesn't seem to make
it crash (I think that it did previously). Or does it only happen with a newly
installed build?

WFM build 2002011803 win2k sp2, new install. zonealarm version 2.6.362.
Mozilla is rather slow/doesn't react for a minute or so however.

+qawanted - do we have a consensus that this new version works better? or why
the slowness occurs?

Comment 9

[Olav Vitters]

Reporter: Does the crash still occur with a recent nightly, available at:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/latest/

Thanks
