113801 - Crash when accessing certain URLs

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Max Wyss]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.12; Mac_PowerPC)
BuildID:    2001120408

After upgrading to MacOSX 10.1.1, certain URLs are no longer accessible. 
Mozilla (0.9.4, 0.9.6) and Netscape 6.2 systematically crash on these 
URLs. In some cases, the page is visible for a fraction of a second, in 
other cases, nothing is displayed at all before the crash happens.

Known URLs:
http://www.mozilla.org/start
http://www.maciontouch.com

On the other hand, more sophisticated URLs work without problems. 

Note: this appears to be an issue with the latest MacOSX update, as 0.9.4 
worked without problems under version 10.1.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.open http://www.mozilla.org/start or http://www.macintouch.com
2.
3.

Actual Results:  Mozilla (and Netscape 6.2) crash

Expected Results:  The page displays properly.

WFM Mac 2001120508 OS 10.1.1.

The 2001120408 build was bad and trashed the preferences file. Try a newer build
and create a fresh profile

Max, activate CrashReporter for your system using the Console application. Then,
after a crash, attach the report to this bug.

I have downloaded Build 2001120608, created a new user profile, and 
those critical sites now work as intended.

Thanks for the help.
