183344 - infinite loop when attempting to read XUL.mfasl

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 169777

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[William A. McArthur]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2) Gecko/20021202
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2) Gecko/20021202

Mozilla is up and running and I try to open Mozilla Mail and Mozilla hands. By
using strace on linux I can see that Mozilla is in an infinate loop and strace
outputs:

read(10, "", 8192)                      = 0

searching though the strace output I found out while file that is:

open("/home/sandymac/.mozilla/default/tphrpkhk.slt/XUL.mfasl",
O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 10

By simply moving the file out of the way mozilla started working again.

It appears there is a read loop somewhere that does not gracefully handle how
ever this file is corrupted. I will add the strace output and the problem file
XUL.mfasl to this bug report.

Reproducible: Always

The problem files are about 600K compressed and bugzilla only allows up to 300K
attachments so I've made the files available at:
http://flick.nerdc.ufl.edu/moz-lockup/
The zip file contains the other two files.

Also, I can recreate the problem at will so if you want any other form of
debugging output just ask and I'll see what I can do.

Dupe.

If anyone can reproduce this problem with a current nightly trunk build, please
report that to bug 169777.
