Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 160602

(Core :: JavaScript Engine, defect)

Description

[Harald Deischinger]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20030120 Phoenix/0.5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20030120 Phoenix/0.5

Page gets loaded (partially). At least the title bar gets updated. Sometimes the
header of the page als displays (maybe always and I am too slow to see it). Then
the application closes. There is no error message or anything simmilar.

Reproducibility: almost always on dual processor machines.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use a dual-processor machine (or hyper-threading Pentium 4)
2. Start Mozilla
3. Enter URL: http://slashdot.org


Actual Results:  
Application quits.

Expected Results:  
Render the page.

Reproduced with:
mozilla-win32-1.2.1, mozilla-win32-1.3a, phoenix-0.5

The problem occurs only on dual-processor machines (tested on a
Win2K-Dual-Pentium-III and a WinXP-Hyper-threaded-Pentium-4). I was not able to
reproduce the effect on a sigle processor machine.

Attachment: testcase

I could reduce the problem to a very small piece of javascript code:
now  = new Date(); tail = now.getTime();

WFM on dual processor box 1GHz CPUs with 1Gb RAM and using BuildID 2003010108

Over to JS engine based on that testcase...

Harald, any chance of a talkback incident ID?

Yes, this is JS Engine. We've had this problem for a while now
on very large integers. Seems to be a Windows-only problem:

bug 160602 "Large integers, e.g. getTime(), causing crash at 0x39393929"
