Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

Description

[Steven N. Carlson]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0rc1) Gecko/20020417
BuildID:    2002041711

Whenever I visit google.com, it tries to redirect me to www.google.co.jp,
because I live in Japan.  It crashes at that moment.  Don't think it's because
of the Japanese characters...I am running Debian/GNU Linux 3.0.  It has done
this with every version after, say, 0.9.7.  

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Goto www.google.com
2.It redirects to www.google.co.jp
3.crash

Actual Results:  It will crash...It doesn't spit out any debug info/start the
bug program that sends you info either...:(

Expected Results:  Loaded the page...

Debian/GNU Linux 3.0 / kernel 2.4.18 / using behind a firewall with a squid proxy.

Steven, could you please try this with a talkback build and report the talkback
incident ID here?

Comment 5

[Boris 'pi' Piwinger]

Reporter told me that the problem occurs directly on the Japanese site, changing
URL. It works for me with Linux RC1.

Comments from Steven in email:

Well, that's the thing, I always use a talkback build, but whenever I go to
www.google.com and get redirected to www.google.co.jp OR I just go straight to
www.google.co.jp, it crashes with no talkback.  Not sure why, but I have to kill
the process...It doesn't close automatically and start talkback like a "usual"
crash.  I know this doesn't help you a whole lot, I apologize for the
vagueness...Anything else I can do?

Comment 7

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

Assigning to intl for investigation... This sounds like a hang, not a crash.

ylong: please confirm.  I'll see if I can repo with today's Win32 build.

Works for me on 04-22 branch build /RH 7.2 on both google.co.jp and setting the
language preferences in google.com.
