Description

[Jeremy M. Dolan]

Fresh profile or not, todays Linux nightly hangs on startup. Yesterdays still
works fine on this system. Strace showed it to be polling fd 9/sleeping, but I
couldn't find what 9 was.

I'm seeing this also (2002110708).  CVS (debug) from 8:26AM works fine.
2002110604 nightly worked fine.

stack from the nightly is:
#0  poll () from /lib/i686/libc.so.6
#1  g_main_poll () from /usr/lib/libglib-1.2.so.0
#2  g_main_iterate () from /usr/lib/libglib-1.2.so.0
#3  g_main_run () from /usr/lib/libglib-1.2.so.0
#4  gtk_main () from /usr/lib/libgtk-1.2.so.0
#5  NSGetModule () from components/libwidget_gtk.so
#6  fullsoft_copyright () from components/libnsappshell.so
#7  0x0805149e in getCountry ()
#8  0x08051caf in main ()
#9  0x420158d4 in __libc_start_main () from /lib/i686/libc.so.6

I can confirm this with optimized build. When debug is enabled everything works
fine.

You can try looking in /proc/<mozilla_pid>/fd and see if fd 9 rings any bells.

I had the same problem on my own CVS build (2002-11-07-05 for Linux). I made a
new build after [e-mail] had backed out his changes:

  11/07/2002 09:18  pete.zha%sun.com   back out for bug 144664, a=cls

and that build works so the backout seems to fix this problems for me.

Comment 5

[Christopher Aillon (sabbatical, not receiving bugmail)]

This is probably the blocker bug from this morning (bug 178879).  The offending
checkin was backed out, and that was marked fixed.

Comment 6

[R.K.Aa.]

saw the same hang and later crash. Repulled CVS - and mozilla starts fine again
now. (Linux)

WFM.

Comment 7

[Kalle Valo]

I did a CVS update as suggested in comment #4 and now it works again
(cvs/trunk/Linux). Marking WFM.
