157802 - Chimera crashed after system requested that it quit prior to restart [@ nsIThread::GetIThread]

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 160241

(Camino Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Greg K.]

using Chimera/20020715, I used Mac OS X's Startup Disk Preferences to select an
OS 9 volume for startup, and clicked "Restart." The system started to shut down
applications, and Chimera then crashed.

this looks like fun

spreading the love around. looks like something in the global history shutdown
code is needed after xpcom has already shut down, so we try to restart it...

[David Haas (gone, not reading mail)]

I've just run through 3 tries of restarting my computer by picking a new startup
folder with Chimera 20020719 NB or a debug build from today running and it never
crashed.  It's too nice outside to try this a 4th time.  

But if somebody else can see this crash, I bet changing the dealloc method in
CHPreferenceManager to something like "shutdownPrefs", and calling it right
before the [mPreferenceManager release] line in MainController's
applicationWillTerminate method would fix things.

This happened to me again last night using Chimera/2002090913 on 10.1.5, but it
generated a completely different stack.

[Greg K.]

First stack looks like bug 160241, resolving dup.

Second stack is different. Maybe related to bug 125037?

Hm, well, maybe this isn't a dup after all.

Comment 8

[Simon Fraser [no longer active]]

It this reproducible? I'm not sure that we handle the 'shutdown' notification.

Comment 9

[Greg K.]

I don't think I was able to reproduce it at the time, and it isn't reproducible
now using Chimera/2002120404.

Has this stack shown up in any TB reports?

Comment 11

[Greg K.]

Stack is same as attachment 93362 [details] on bug 160241.
