115838 - Crash on restart before java plugin has unloaded

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core Graveyard :: Java: OJI, defect)

Description

[brian]

steps to reproduce:

1) open a page with a java applet (so the java plugin will load)
2) close mozilla and before the plugin has unloaded (while its icon is still in 
the windows system tray) start a new instance of mozilla. --> mozilla crashes 
with a windows error message.

using java plugin 1.3.1_01 and mozilla 0.9.6

If you are crashing in Mozilla the best thing you can do to help the developers
fix your bug is to attach a stacktrace. If you're not building yourself you are
not out of luck.  Mozilla (thanks to a very cool donation from Netscape)
releases nightly and milestone builds with Full Circle's Talkback. Talkback
should catch most crashes and offer to send in a crash report. I can retrieve
that crash report and attach it to your bug report if you provide either the
Incident ID (you can get it by running the talkback program from
/components/talkback/) or you can let me know the email address you used to
submit the report and the time of sending. Thanks for your help in testing
Mozilla and reporting bugs.

Since this bug was reported, newer versions of Mozilla (1.0 RC1) and the JRE
(1.4) have been released. Reporter (briancort), please can you check to see
whether this
bug is still present in a recent build (Moz1-RC1 or a new nightly build). If
this bug does not occur please can you resolve it worksforme.

always reproducible using:
moz 1.0 RC1, windows2000, SP2
Java Plug-in 1.4.0 for Netscape Navigator (DLL Helper)

i followed the steps provided by the reporter. tested
with www.javasoft.com. its only reproducible when Quick Launch 
is disabled. no talkbacks generated although talkback is enabled.
mozilla crashes with msg: ...could not perform read operation on memory
and ...could not perform write operation on memory
 
not reproducible using:
moz 1.0 RC1, Linux, SuSE 8.0
Java(TM) Plug-in 1.3.1_02

Confirming from  Andreas' comment (dicussed on irc)

Comment 6

[Kevin Lange]

This is the most closely related bug to what I see.  I can always reproduce a
crash on restart, regarless of Java Plug-in state.  If I shutdown mozilla
(1.0GA), then immediately try to launch it again, I get a crash dialog titled
"XPCOM:EventReceiver: mozilla.exe - Application Error" 

with text details of 

"The instruction at 'ox00235b60' referenced memory at '0x7000f7f0'.  The memory
could not be 'read'.  Click on OK to terminate the program

Since waiting a few more seconds before launching mozilla after a shutdown
always clears up the problem, I don't consider this a critical problem.
