Crash Data

This bug was filed from the Socorro interface and is report bp-ae176827-7089-4b28-9e0c-cfc092161012. ============================================================= Low volume crash that seems to have started with the 10-11 Nightly. It's currently the #15 crash for that Nightly on Windows with 9 crashes. Bill, do you know of good ways to diagnose these crashes that have cryptic messages?

I think "Route error: message sent to unknown actor ID" generally means somebody tried to send a message to an actor that was already shut down. As for mapping the msgtype to a protocol, bug 1290766 comment 1 has some info. (We should put that somewhere on the Uptime pages...)
We can link to https://wiki.mozilla.org/Electrolysis/Debugging#Working_backwards_from_a_C.2B.2B_Message_to_its_IPDL_message But the script is partially broken and inconvenient. We could write a script to parse the value from source or debug symbol directly.
The msgtype 0x8A0017 in the reported version is mozilla::net::PHttpChannel::Msg_Redirect1Begin so this is a duplicate of bug 1307029 and bug 1294719 that changed signature. IMO we should fix the name=??? problem otherwise the signature will keep changing.
