From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.1a) Gecko/20020610
BuildID: 2002061108
If no signature is selected in the mail and news settings, clicking compose
works, brings up a window, ready to be typed in.
If a signature file is selected that is a regular text file, it also works fine.
If the signature file is a FIFO, like those used when you have a random textfile
generator like gensig, mozilla locks up immediately and takes 99.5% CPU until
killed.
To be sure I have the terminology right, this is what I get from ls -lag
.signature...
prw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jun 13 14:51 .signature|
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install a package like gensig for random taglines, available at
http://www.geekthing.com/~robf/gensig/
2. Set it up so that .signature is your new tagline in mozilla.
3. In mail and news settings, set that file up as your signature file.
4. Click compose. Blammo.
(works under Netscape 4, I know a different product entirely, but the
methodology of using a tagline generator this way is usually safe)
Actual Results: All windows lock up, screen updates cease, Mozilla has to be
killed -9.
(Also takes 99% CPU time until killed)
Expected Results: Opened a compose window like normal.
resolving as dup of bug 62993 since it seems this is a freeze and not a crash.
