Mozilla 1.3a had fatal memory leak when saving / sending e-mail  with enigmail
installed. Enigmail had two [unwanted] installs running 0.71.3 and 0.72.0

Solved by uninstall of enigmail and removal of file
chrome/enigimail.jar

Fatal memory leak would require a quick application kill via C-A-D or hard boot
if left to drain resources.

I'm pretty sure this is a dup of other enigmail related crashes seen with
Mozilla 1.3 Alpha and recent MozillaTrunk builds.  I will look up those bugs and
update later.

Reporter, do you still see this problem with the latest nightly? If not, this
bug can be closed. Thanks.

Comment 3

[Galen Thurber]

no longer user 1.3a

Comment 4

[Bharat]

Reporter, could you elaborate? Is it that:

1) you are using a later version of Mozilla with enigmail and it works fine,

OR

2) you are not using mozilla with enigmail at all?

Thanks.

[Ray Booysen]

Reporter, can you try a newer build of enigmail and mozilla?
The newest build of enigmail is 0.82.1

Comment 6

[Sven Krohlas]

Reporter, is this still a problem with current versions of Mozilla & Enigmail?

Comment 7

[Patrick Brunschwig]

That was an old bug of enigmail, before it was properly adapted to Mozilla 1.3a.
I suggest to mark it WFM.

Oh, today is my Enigmail bug hunting day ;-))))

Marking WFM
