155632 - crash loading page - "MOZILLA caused a divide error in module <unknown>"

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 128961

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Joe Peachman]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.1a+) Gecko/20020703
BuildID:    2002070308

Page begins to load, then pops up illegal operation message "MOZILLA caused a
divide error in module <unknown>". Clicking OK removes Mozilla from the task
list, but does not actually close the window or taskbar button. Other programs
begin hanging/crashing, and it culminates in the need to manually reset the
computer (Windows shutdown or restart don't work). First program to crash after
this is VisualZone 5.6.0.2660 (a ZoneAlarm logging program).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. goto http://www.techbargains.com/index.cfm
2. happens during pageload; no further action required


Actual Results:  Illegal Operation
This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down.

MOZILLA caused a divide error in module <unknown> at 0000:00000204.

Clicking OK removes Mozilla from Task List, but window does not close and button
remains on Task Bar, though it is non-functional. Other things begin hanging,
culminating in need to manually reboot.

Expected Results:  Page should open and display normally!

I haven't set any themes nor done any special configuration--settings are default.

wfm, w98, same build id (2002070308).

there are bugs about zonealarm, presonally i'd suggest abandoning it.
otherwise please get a talkback build (either mozilla-win32-talkback.zip, or 
select talkback in the installer). media tab didn't hint about any plugins, 
there's a refresh but 3600 is pretty high.

I don't see any reason that you picked layout, so i'm moving this to b-g

Reporter:
Do you use a nvidia card ?
Is it working if I turn the hardware acceleration 1 or 2 notches
   (Control Panel->System->Performance->Graphics...)

Comment 4

[Joe Peachman]

Very perceptive--yes, I have a Geforce3 Ti200, and if I turn
acceleration down 2 notches (1 is not sufficient) to "basic"--1 step above
no hardware acceleration--the problem goes away. I'm using the current
Nvidia detonator 29.42 video driver. Is this something already being addressed?

As to comment #2, I understand there are problems with ZoneAlarm 3.0. but have
been running 2.6.0.362 for over 6 months without problem so far. I originally
posted this to layout because the selection was listed as "Layout/Page Content",
and as this crash happens after the page starts rendering, I took it to be
related to something specific to the content of this page. I did debate b-g as
the other choice--sorry if I misinterpreted the category meaning!

Thanks to all for your assistance!

There is a bug in the nvidia driver on win9x systems.
We try to add a workaround. 

Nvidia knows about the problem...

There is a fixed test .dll for Mozilla 1.0 (not for 1.1) in the bug
