118648 - Crash typing in Quick Search

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 118004

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect, P2)

Description

[scottputterman]

Using 1/7 build on Win NT.

Over the last week or so, I've crashed 3 times while typing in Quick Search. 
Unfortunately my talkback stacks aren't going to be too useful.  From one of
them, I wonder if we have a timer issue.

Here are the ids:

1153156
1355771
1243431

the first two have this as a stack:

0x0ae3da40 

The third has this:

destroyMyEvent [d:\builds\seamonkey\mozilla\xpcom\threads\nsTimerImpl.cpp, line 286]
PL_DestroyEvent [d:\builds\seamonkey\mozilla\xpcom\threads\plevent.c, line 628]
PL_HandleEvent [d:\builds\seamonkey\mozilla\xpcom\threads\plevent.c, line 603]
PL_ProcessPendingEvents [d:\builds\seamonkey\mozilla\xpcom\threads\plevent.c,
line 524]
_md_EventReceiverProc [d:\builds\seamonkey\mozilla\xpcom\threads\plevent.c, line
1072]

I have been trying to reproduce this but haven't succeeded so far. Any point 
that might be useful?

Only a few incidents of crashes as per talkback data.

Comment 2

[scottputterman]

Yeah, that's why I crashed 3 times before filing the bug.  I figure this is
going to be hard to reproduce.  All I know is that it happened while either
typing or backspacing in QuickSearch.  It might have been when doing a
QuickSearch when a current search was being displayed.  If this happens again,
I'll try to pay attention to everything else I was doing at the time.

I told Navin this but I'll add it here.  I was able to reproduce again by just
randomly typing into Quick Search and then backspacing and typing some more.  I
did that about 10 or so times and it eventually crashed.

[scottputterman]

I just crashed twice more trying to reproduce this.  It's pretty easy for me to
reproduce.  My most recent crashes are on today's respin build (1/10)

Comment 5

[Navin Gupta]

you don't use the return key, do you ?

Comment 6

[scottputterman]

Not that I know of.  I can make it crash without using the return key.  I can
show you on my machine if you'd like.

Comment 7

[scottputterman]

I created a new profile and the same crash occurs.  I'm now at a point where I
can't use this without crashing.  I'm lucky if I can get one search in a session.

I'm trying to get a build but am having some trouble. If we can get a build on
my machine, maybe this can get fixed.

I think cavin told me, he works on winNT. Cavin, do you crash on typing in quick
search. 

Comment 9

[Cavin Song]

Yes, I'm running on NT and I could not get it to fail for about 30+ queries. I
did following putterman's instructions.  Maybe you can try it on my machine. I'm
running 02-11-02 build.

moving out until I can get a build so we can look at this.

I think this is a duplicate of bug 118004

The crash is rather sporadic, I've hit it a couple of times. I posted Purify
info in 118004

Comment 12

[scottputterman]

reassigning to Seth.  Kerz can reproduce this on his machine and has a debug build.

this should become a dup of #118004, but lets wait to test brendan's patch 
before doing that.

Comment 15

[(not reading, please use [e-mail] instead)]

based on kerz's comments (how brendan's patch fixes this) I'm going to mark 
this a dup.

Comment 16

[scottputterman]

I tried kerz's debug build and this appears to be working now!

I notice the master to this bug is still not fixed... still leaving this one
open as a reminder to check this when that is resolved.
