126035 - Crash when browsing pages with chinese characters

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Internationalization, defect, P1)

Description

[mk]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.8) Gecko/20020204
BuildID:    20002020415

aside from dmoz, google, and yahoo, any page with chinese encoded characters
will crash mozilla 0.9.8 within a matter of a few secs to one minute.  GB2312
and BIG5 are equally prone.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.visit jcph.com
2.visit any link from
http://cn.yahoo.com/business_and_economy/companies/publishing/Children_s/


Actual Results:  Browser window freezes, no more repaints, sometimes the whole
browser and all processes will just vanish w/o warning.

Expected Results:  I expect the browser to render the page and except input.  At
the very least display an error message.

wfm using build 2002021608 on Win2k and 2002021707 on Linux.
Reporter, do you get a TAlkback window when crashing ? If yes, please post
Talkback ID.
Otherwise, download latest nightly build here:
