190073 - Layout intermittently corrupted

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 189689

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030121

Pieces of web pages seem to be getting dropped.  Sometimes, a chunk will be
missing, sometimes a fragment of HTML will appear instead, sometimes the layout
gets scambled because an important piece got lost.  Also, my first attempt to
download the nightly binary today was corrupt, possibly because a piece of that
was dropped.  This only happens on perhaps one page in twenty, randomly.

I realise this could be due to connection problems, but it started happening
suddenly with a new Mozilla a few days ago.  I have completely failed to find
the same symptoms in IE6 or NS4.7.  My connection appears reliable with no
packet loss.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Browse through web pages
Actual Results:  
A corrupt web page will appear.  Reload usually shows the correct page.

Expected Results:  
Show the page rendered correctly.

Almost-certainly a dup of the networking bug from Darin's file-loading changes.

I too have seen the duplicated content described in the other bug, and the
timing is right.  Verified.
