Build: 11/19 trunk OS: RH7.1 Ja This bug was observed when verifying bug 99630 on linux. When the auto-detector is truned off, browser crashes when displaying a Ja mail with a sjis attachment that doesn't have charset info. Steps to reproduce: 1. Download the testing folder attached in bug 99630 to your local mail folder. 2. Launch browser, make sure the auto-detector is turned off. 3. Launch mail from tasks menu. 4. Select the 2nd mail of the testing mail, observe the crash. No talkback report is generated. Notes: 1. It doesn't crash on Windows with the same mail. 2. It doesn't crash when auto-detector is turned on Japanese.

It doesn't crash either when universal auto-detector is turned on.

Do you have talkback result? Is this linux only?
No talkback report generated. This is linux only. It doesn't crash either on Mac 9.1 Ja.

since this is an X protocol error I would expect that gdk calls exit; eg: does not actually crash hence not talkback report
This bug reminds me bug 108765 I fixed for HPUX, setting SJIS string to windows title as latin1 string in SJIS locale will hang the system. The problem is that some X function could not handle some illegal byte sequence. If we do not know the charset, it is very likely an illegal one will be generated during the processing of converting raw string to unicode and back to locale encoding. Brian, I can take a look at this problem if you don't want to be distracted by this bug. I know you are busying wrapping things up.
Shanjian: take a look at comment #4
This crash only happens in Japanese locale, it doesn't crash when running in C or en_US locale.
thanks Xianglan, now I can reproduce it. Changed to title from: Browser crashes when viewing a mail with sjis attachment ... to: Browser exits when viewing a mail with sjis attachment ...
