113897 - During/following load of various sites, browser freezes/hangs

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Networking, defect)

Description

[David Caswell]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.6+) Gecko/20011206
BuildID:    2001120608

Upon loading (or following load of) certain sites, Mozilla hangs perpetually
with no further repaints, grabbing 99-100% CPU while hung, until the app is
forcibly killed.

By my reckoning, I've been seeing this behavior on the trunk since at least
2001-11-17. (See below)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.) Load the URL.
2.) View results. =P

This behavior was originally witnessed in my comments for bug 110357 , which
turned out to be a dupe of another bug and thus unrelated to the behavior I was
seeing. (For further background see my Additional Comments #4 and #8 in that
bug, and jrgm's response to said behavior in #13.)

As in that bug, other sites I've noted the same results with are:

http://www.dragonbbs.com/members
(Will return a 403 error before hanging on "Document: Done"-Probably occurs on
loading the favicon)
http://www.scenemusic.net/
http://www.ojuice.net/

Also as noted in 110357, jrgm reported WFM on all sites WRT this bug under Win32
(Win2K), at least as of 2001-12-04...

GAH! Forgot the most obvious keyword. X\ (Me am stupid, too.)

WFM, Linux 2001-12-24-08. Must have Gone Away in recent days.

All URLs in the testcase load for me now. What a relief!

Dunno if it'd be seemly to resolve my own bug at this point, though...|\
