12644 - [PP]ExtractCoreFile() stomps memory resulting in crash on shutdown

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Installer, defect, P1)

Description

[Samir Gehani]

It appears that calling DisposeWindow() on the Mac Install Wizard's only window
at Shutdown causes a crash. The state of the window appears to be valid: we have
gotten the window through the global pointer we store as well as through finding
the front window, verifying the refcon matches our kMIWMagic number and trying
to call DisposeWindow() on the window obtained from FrontWindow(). Both methods
appear to result in the same window being pointed to. However, calling
DisposeWindow() in either scenario results in a crash.

Was not releasing a StringPtr in the core file extraction routines. This appears
to have impacted the system and thus the crash. We are no longer crashing
and in fact shutting down gracefully.

The problem is that we seem to be stomping memory or the system when we extract
the core files. The problem has resurfaced. When we call Shutdown() any call to
the current window ptr (like HideWindow()/DisposeWindow()) causes a crash.
