182472 - Strange read/write behavior on bookmarks-1.html when closing browser window

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 182373

(SeaMonkey :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Laurens Blankers]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.2) Gecko/20021126
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.2) Gecko/20021126

When I close any browser window Mozilla first does about 60 write operations to
a file bookmarks-1.html in my user directory followed by about 600 read
operations (yes, that is 3 digits) and finally deletes the file and writes to
bookmarks.html (without the 1).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open new browser window (CTRL-N)
2. Close the browser window
Actual Results:  
Window closes with a lot of HD activity.

Expected Results:  
Window should close without or with little HD activity.

I checked this with Filemon (a freeware util from sysinternals.com), if anyone
is interested I can post the log file, it is about 250 KB.

Although I haven't noticed anything going wrong YET, this behaviour is highly
annoying because the sound my HD makes when I close a browser window reminds me
of a virus spreading or a disc being formatted.
