162555 - Browser hangs when accessing website (OEM Branch)

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Martin Lawyer]

Steps  to reproduce:   
1)  Pull mozilla source from NETSCAPE_7_0_OEM_BRANCH 
2)  Build mozilla, optimized 
3)  Remove (or move) .mozilla and .netscape home directories
4)  Bring up browser using new default profile
5)  Enter cnn.com in the location bar
6)  Entire browser window hangs

I've seen similar results going to netscape.com as well.  Simpler pages (like
mozilla.org or google.com seem to work ok).

It is reported that the debug/non-opt builds also fail similarly, and that the
problem is also affecting Linux builds done on the OEM branch.

Builds done during the day on August 8th do not have this problem, so it is
related to a checkin done late 8/8 or after.

I have found that if I roll back the change to htmlparser/src/CNavDTD.cpp (Rev
3.381.2.6.6.1 -> 3.381.2.6), things get better.

I have now tried rolling back this one change on both HPUX and Linux, and in
both cases, the problem went away.

sorry for my mistake.
I make a patch for current OEM branch.
I think it still need jdunn's approval, but dont need r and sr.

BUG FIX VERIFICATION:
Removed .mozilla subdirectory.  Logged in as default profile (i.e., cancelled
out of "Current Member Sign In" registration).  After browser started with
"Welcome Set-up Page", entered cnn.com url.  CNN page came up fine, browser
functioning as expected.  Netscape.com also comes up fine.

CONCLUSION:
Bug has been fixed - Marking as VERIFIED - FIXED

VERSION: 7.0
BUILD: 20020823 and 20020827, both OEM builds.
MACHINE: venice and assisi
O.S.: HPUX 11.00 and 11i
