Crash Data

downloaded today's commercial trunk build [2002080708 win32].  when i started
mailnews, it crashed immediately (my nsmail-2 IMAP account selected as the
default account).

talkback id: 9071627, 9071671

Severity: normal → blocker
dup of bug 161510?
do you have an INBOX.msf? It looks like it's trying to create a new one, either
because the existing one is corrupt (in which case, could you try moving it away
to another directory, and restarting?), or because it's a new profile or something.

Also, biff is firing on startup, which it shouldn't. Yes, it looks like one of
these is a dup of the other.
the other possibility is that the build is broken - I did add a method to
nsIMsgDatabase.idl - if the build is not a clobber build, we could be running
into the gmake dependency problems that plague us on linux...
hmm... will try removing INBOX.msf
i removed INBOX.msf and it still crashed... talkback: 9072479
the stack trace is a bit different time this time... maybe that indicates
something?!
it seems unlikely that two people would have suddenly corrupt .msf files on the
same morning, and that it would cause a crash. You don't have a debug build from
the tip, do you? My debug build runs fine, and I'm pretty up to date (completely
up to date in mail)
pulling now...
that other stack trace is completely different - I wonder if we can get a new
release build spun up after clobbering in mailnews?

I tried this both ways (with an Inbox.msf file and w/o) and didn't see any
problems with my debug build.
I tried downloading the latest trunk build, and it did crash with incident
9073973 - I'm trying my trunk debug build again.
I'm updating the rest of my tree and rebuilding - I was not as up-to-date 
outside of mail/news as I thought.
I kicked off a full respin, hopefully this'll solve the problem. 
even though it might not help, at least it's something to do while my debug
build chugs away.
FYI: my full up-to-date optimized build doesn't crash (both Imap+pop3)
It's not happening on OSX or Linux.  Seems to be happening all over different
wintel platforms.
my tip debug build is fine too.
Build 2002080711 on Win ME: TB9075782M

I see three open bugs that deal with the same issue
161530
161510
161523

Perhaps we can choose one of them. Unfortunately, I don't have the permission to
mark dups. This one is the most elaborated, in 161510 it is mentioned that there
might be a connection with bug 158969 .

HANG, MAIL/NEWS, no Talkback

mozilla 2002080711 on win98se 

no crash, but zombie-prozess (HDD and CPU on max.) when opening Mail/News or
sending message directly (like: Send link... -> SEND)

-Profile runs without problem on 1.1bRelease 
-same with new Profile

------------------------------

respinning must have fixed it - marking invalid. I'll download that build myself
to verify it.

yeah, the respun release build works fine for me. Seems to be a problem with our
build system, specifically, dependencies. This has long been a problem on linux,
and now that we've switch to gmake on windows, it looks like a problem on
windows too.

Using commercial trunk

Also checked (though only a windows only bug)
commercial trunk 2002-08-07-08 on linux 2.2, Mac os X 10.1.5

I don't see the crash anymore. tried logging into mail both imap/pop.
Compose/get mail and no problems.

marking verified invalid.

This one is going to show up in the topcrash repoorts for a while. marking as
topcrash so the automation lets us know that it's resolved.

*** Bug 161704 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
This turns out to be a slight communication problem.  The win32 gmake builds do
not automatically generate dependencies like the unix gmake builds.  This is a
legacy inherited from the nmake build.  Afaict, the new win32 nightly build
scripts were tailored from the unix scripts and didn't explicitly do a 'depend'
or 'alldep' when building.  That problem should be fixed now.
excellent, thx, that explains why the linux builds were OK.
