176877 - mozilla crash or gets stuck in an endless loop and never comes up again till you restart Windows

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout: Text and Fonts, defect)

Description

[Daniel]

I was just installing mozilla to check it out and when i tried to go on a site
called tapuz(www.tapuz.co.il), Mozilla crashed.

I would like to say this site is in hebrew if that helps to find the bug or
something.

The tab with the URL for this bug stopped responding, but other tabs *seemed* OK.
Trying to use other tabs exhibited strange problems, such as a missing throbber,
and the "x" button that closes tabs will disappear when moused over.

Upon closing all mozilla windows, the mozilla.exe process continues to run,
which I had to kill with the task manager.

I saw two things while doing this.  One was that breaking in while Moz was hung 
just showed it spinning in nsAppShell::Run waiting for messages.  Except events 
that should cause messages like clicking buttons and closing windows don't.  
The other was that Moz would occassionally crash in layout before any of these 
event problems started.  I think the two might be separate so I filed the crash 
as bug 176915.  WD's comment here just seems to describe the hang part.
