128353 - Crashes changing preferences in Trunk, M098, N621 [@ nsCharTraits<unsigned short>::length]

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: Preferences, defect)

Description

[greer]

M098 and Trunk builds from 2/18 and 2/19 have crashes at nsCharTraits<unsigned
short>::length in current Talkback data. This problem may already be gone. We'll
watch for it in the next few days. 

Are we passing though obsolete code in the second frame intentionally?

nsCharTraits<unsigned short>::length   50

Comment 1

[Samir Gehani]

Can't repro.  Can we close this out as WFM?  Tom, any new crashes with the same
stack trace?

Comment 2

[greer]

Samir, only four incidents in the Talkback database since this bug was logged.
I'll mark it WFM.

Comment 3

[sairuh (rarely reading bugmail)]

mass-verifying WorksForMe bugs.

reopen only if this bug is still a problem with a *recent trunk build*.
