I had slightly changed the way Java mime-types are sent to the server.....I
added "mimetype=" and forgot to increase the size of the allocated string.

I assume the reporter tested this on today's trunk. To be more specific..I see 
it on today's branch. So is the fix going in both ?

something bizzare is going on. This works ok on win2k, crashes on my NT..

On win98, the same page opens up after I click on the default plugin., reopening 
for w98 for now. Chekcing if it's just my NT that is crashing or what..

resummarizing...since w98 did not crash.

Adding topcrash+ keyword and [@ ntdll.dll - nsXULDocument::CreateElement] to
summary from duped bug 139296.

Also adding M1RC1 (Mozilla1.0 RC1), M1BR (Mozilla1.0 Branch) and Trunk to
summary for tracking.

The crash should be fixed in today's builds. If this crash is still appearing in
talback data from today's builds, please let me know.

Comment 18

[scottputterman]

adding adt1.0.0+.  Please check this in to the branch as soon as possible and
add the fixed1.0.0 keyword.

Comment 19

[shrirang khanzode]

ok,I did some more testing on this with 0423 branch build and the results are as 
follows:


On win98 - The same page opens when I click on the default plugin (no crash)
On WinNT - The browser crashes ( afterI click on the default plugin)
On Win 2k/Win XP - Things work flawlessly ( tried ipix..got correctly redirected 
and got the plugin installed with no problem..same with quicktime except that I 
was pointed to the installer file since there is no xpi..but the technique was 
correct) 

Am filing another bug for the crasher on NT with a testcase.

Comment 20

[shrirang khanzode]

filed bug 139529 for NT problem.

Comment 21

[Jay Patel [:jay]]

Putterman:  This was checked into the Mozilla1.0 branch on 4/19 (see comment #9).

Peter:  You wanna add the fixed1.0.0 keyword?

Marking this fixed per Shrirang's testing and recent Talkback data.  Haven't
seen any crashes involving the java plug-in link since the fix went in.

Comment 22

[shrirang khanzode]

yes, this crash is fixed now on today's brnahc build on windows. But the java 
insatllation issue still remains open, that is bug 139240
