117022 - Flash plugin causes segmentation fault on certain pages

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[John Rogers]

Running Mozilla 0.9.7 (Debian/Unstable package) and installed Flash plugin from
Macromedia's site. Flash plugin works normally on some pages, and causes a
segmentation fault on others. For example www.eye4u.com loads and views just
fine. but the small banner flash ad on any Keenspot site (www.sinfest.net,
www.joeaverage.org, etc) causes a segmentation fault at the console and the
Mozilla window(s) to close without warning. Reproducible simply by visiting the
Keenspot sites. Note this did NOT occur with 0.9.6.

I cannot reproduce the crash with 2001-12-28-08 optimized build.
John Rogers: could you generate talkback report for the crash
and post incident ID here?
Thank you.

Ok, it would appear that the bug is present in the Debian package for Mozilla
0.9.7 (and the mozilla-cvs Deb package) but not in the talkback builds straight
from mozilla.org. Unfortunately, the packaged Mozilla isn't a talkback build so
I can't send a talkback from it. But the mozilla.org talkback build works fine.
Maybe I should be talking to the Mozilla deb package maintainer about this.

Marking worksforme

Mozilla doesn't accept bugs from contributed builds.
Please reopen if you see this with a build from mozilla.org.

Thanks !
