18164 - Mozilla dumps core when invalid args are passed to shell script wrapper

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core Graveyard :: Tracking, defect, P3)

Description

[Pat Gunn]

Mozilla dumps core when invalid arguments are passed to the shell
script wrappers. Does not dump core when invalid args are passed to
it directly. 100% reproducible, checked with 6 November 1999 build.
Backtrace is as follows:

[chris hofmann]

who owns the shell script wrapper? looks like ramiro and slamm
or pass to briano when he gets back..

Comment 2

[Steve Lamm]

Would you give me some examples of what you are doing? I looked at
mozilla-apprunner.sh, it checks the arguments for valid ones.

Comment 3

[msw]

I can't reproduce this on my Linux/Alpha test builds.

Marking Verified as WorksForMe, this no longer occurs with latest build.  Please 
use latest nightly build from: http://www.mozilla.org/binaries.html and reopen
