112969 - PAC: PAC hangs/crashes on startup.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 99026

(Core :: Networking, defect)

Description

[benc]

Netscape 6.2.1 FC

Probably because it tries to load the home page, the SOCKS directive that goes
nowhere during normal usage also hangs (and occassionally crashes) Netscape and
Mozilla on startup:

STEPS:

Set a PAC file that always results in "SOCKS" directive. Then quit and restart

(try: http://www.packetgram.com/pktg/proxy/pac/pacfiles/socks.pac)

When you restart, select the same profile you used before, and then observe that
it hangs.

 Hey : You are in QFA Startup 
(QFA)Talkback loaded Ok.

Sometimes it returned a 127 error after about 30 minutes.

I haven't had time to look at other platforms.

Ben, do you have a stack handy?

stephend: Nope. But the offending system is down the hall from you. 

How do I get the info you need?

If you can still get it to crash on a nightly build, Talkback should come up,
simply report the Incident ID and we can pull a stacktrace from that.

That never happened w/ this bug, even though talkback worked for other bugs.
Oh well, Darin thinks this is fixed anyhow.
