123958 - Changing Initialize At Startup requires write access to component.reg

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 483681

(Other Applications Graveyard :: Venkman JS Debugger, defect)

Description

[Christopher Blizzard (:blizzard)]

If you try to change "Initialize at Startup" in the JS debugger and you don't
have write access to component.reg ( say, it's an rpm install ) the setting
can't be changed.  This is annoying.

From a truss/strace you can see this clearly...

[pid 25429] brk(0x8096000)              = 0x8096000
[pid 25429] lstat64("/usr", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=1024, ...}) = 0
[pid 25429] lstat64("/usr/local", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=530, ...}) = 0
[pid 25429] lstat64("/usr/local/mozilla", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=1413,
...}) = 0
[pid 25429] open("/usr/local/mozilla/component.reg", O_RDWR) = -1 ENOENT (No
such file or directory)
[pid 25429] stat64("/usr/local/mozilla/component.reg", 0xbffff79c) = -1 ENOENT
(No such file or directory)
[pid 25429] open("/usr/local/mozilla/component.reg", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC,
0666) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)
[pid 25429] open("/usr/local/mozilla/component.reg", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No
such file or directory)
[pid 25429] --- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) ---
<... wait4 resumed> [WIFSIGNALED(s) && WTERMSIG(s) == SIGSEGV], 0, NULL) = 25429
rt_sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, [CHLD TTOU], [CHLD], 8) = 0

This needs to be fixed. Mozilla, (or any program) should not crash with
SEGV's. Please check the return code from open() before proceeding. This is
a coding bug !!

Still crashes with build 20020221.

[pid 24924] open("/usr/local/mozilla/component.reg", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No
such file or directory)

Umm. So I'm not sure, but I *think* this is a dupe of 483681. Here goes nothing...
