BuildID:    2001121103

This is a Russian web site that has an English version button.  When I click the
English version button Moz crashes.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.enter www.peterlink.ru as URL
2.When page is displayed click the "English Version" button
3.Moz will crash

Actual Results:  Moz crashed everytime, two different occasions on two different
days.

Expected Results:  Page displays properly with NS6.2.  Would expect the same
from Moz.

You can't miss the English Version button, its the only thing on the screen you
will be able to read!

does this still occur with a recent trunk build?

could you please provide a talkback incident number, so that we could search for
crash details? [unless talkback never came up --make sure you're using a build
with talkback installed.]

Wfm using NS 2002011403 build on Win2K.  Do you have shockwave installed?  2nd
page uses it.

If I understand your test environment notation correctly, this bug is not seen
when using build NS 2002011403 build on Win2K.  Therefore the bug may be a
problem with NS on NT or just the later NS build has already addressed this problem.

I did check for Shockwave.  I have Shockwave Flash v4.0r28 installed.
Has the new NS build been tested for crashes if Shockwave is not installed?  NS
should provide an error statement when plugins are not present, not crash and
burn.  To do so would be to place very user unfriendly software in the hands of
the unspecting public.
