18243 - MSL RuntimePPC.DLL crashes Seamonkey with Type 3 error on quit

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 16693

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect, P1)

Description

[cpratt]

Build ID: 1999110808, others
Platform: Mac OS only; not applicable to Linux, Win32

To reproduce:
- Install RAM Doubler 8 version 8.0.1
- Install the latest Seamonkey build
- Launch Seamonkey
- Select File | Quit

Result: You crash with a Type 3 error.

Expected result: you shouldn't, even with RAM Doubler installed.

I'm checking now to see if you don't crash without RAM Doubler. I'll report back
in a bit.

RAM Doubler isn't the culprit here... I'm still trying to track down the problem.
This is on a beige 266 MHz G3 running OS 8.5... Reassigning QA contact to elig.

I believe I've narrowed the crash down to these three extensions:

MSL C.PPC.DLL
MSL RuntimePPC++.DLL
MSL RuntimePPC.DLL

There are no versions present in the extensions themselves; they are dated June
3, 1997. I'll keep plugging away at this to see if it's just one that's causing
the crash, and (possibly) what applications are using them (IE 4.5, OE 5, or
Office 98).

OK, I found the culprit. If you have a clean System folder with only the MSL
RuntimePPC.DLL extension added to it, you will crash with a type 3 error on quit.
My apologies for intially blaming Connectix! - It seems that OE 5.0, IE 4.5, and
Office 98 all refrain from installing that file in that location, so I'm frankly
not sure what application or installer would put that extension there. It may be
a 3rd party application, or a previous version of IE/OE. I'll contact Microsoft &
report my findings later on this week.

Comment 4

OK, here's the final comment I'm going to make today:

1. This is a regression. Builds prior to November 5, 1999 do NOT crash at quit.
2. This is a serious problem because the MSL RuntimePPC.DLL file is installed by
Communicator 4.x installers - it's part of the RealAudio components.

Upgrading priority and severity.

[cpratt]

elig was kind enough to point out that there was some discussion of this on an
internal Netscape mailing list I'm not familiar with.
