157080 - Command line -Create Profile mistake

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 153562

(Core :: Internationalization, defect)

Description

[Patrick Gu]

On solaris 8

Steps to reproduce:
1.Check out and build  trunk or 1.0 branch about on 4-5th July or download a 
nightly build ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/2002-06-30-21-
trunk/mozilla-sparc-sun-solaris2.6.tar.gz

2.Rm or backup your .mozilla

3.Create a new profile by:
  ./mozilla -CreateProfile test

Export result:browser create a 'test' folder under .mozilla

Actul result:browser just create 'appreg' under .mozilla and create 'test' 
under the .mozill

It's so confuse to user though user still can see the profile on UI.

Tinderbox test will create profile by script,so script couldn't find 'test' 
in .mozilla

See bug 153562. Read from http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153562#c3
on down since the summary of that bug is misleading. This is another symptom of
the same problem - unicode<->native charset problems on Solaris.

Like that bug, I'm going to move this to internationalization. It probably
should be duped.

we are going to introduce a new set of APIs for NSPR.
