169006 - hang (deadlock?) between compose-dismiss-after-send and load-next-msg

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect)

Description

[Brendan Eich [:brendan]]

<brendan> twice now, i've seen 1.2alpha on linux deadlock as follows
<brendan> compose a reply, hit send
<brendan> as the compose window is sending and then dismissing, delete the
message i just replied to
<brendan> next message starts to load
<brendan> throbber stops
<brendan> compose window goes away (afaict)
<brendan> mozilla is hung
<brendan> not in kernel -- kill (not kill -9) is enough to kill the process
<sspitzer> yikes, I wonder if we are trying to set the replied status on the
message?
<brendan> i tried gdb'ing but deadlocked or livelocked my whole system thrashing vm
<sspitzer> can you start a bug on me?
<sspitzer> with this info?
<brendan> yes

This is more complicated than what I see.  

What I see is as follows, on RH6.1, using N7.0 and a recent commercial trunk build:

- when replying to a message, after I hit send, the OS locks up or automatically
reboots(!). 
- hang / reboot occurs either in the middle of the actual send operation (while
the send progress meter is still visible, and not yet at 100%), or during the
"copying to sent" folder part of the operation.
-  the hang is hard.  I cannot switch to a text console and I have to manually
reboot.

Other potentially relevant facts:
- using SBC DSL and pppoe 
- using Sera 2.5
- using IMAP
- not using LDAP

I don't see what [e-mail] sees, and he's on 6.1, so I suggest a
different bug be filed for the problem he's reporting.

I haven't had this happen again, and I'm not sure I can backtrace thread stacks
if I do (last time, my system ground to a halt thrashing swap when I tried to
attach with gdb).  Maybe inspection of changes during 1.2alpha would turn up
suspicious checkins?  I don't think this happened in 1.0 -- dunno about 1.1,
which I never ran.

sorry for the spam.  making bugzilla reflect reality as I'm not working on these bugs.  filter on FOOBARCHEESE to remove these in bulk.
