193958 - Upon starting mozilla, it fails to open any windows and chews up as much CPU as it can

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 193957

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Steven Augart]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows 98; Win 9x 4.90; H010818)
Build Identifier: 1.2.1 (pc-linux)

When I start mozilla 1.2.1, it fails to open any windows and chews up as much 
CPU as it can.  (Note that I am filing this bug with a different browser!)  

The last time I ran Mozilla, it stopped responding to X events after I clicked 
to view an already-deleted message through the email advanced search feature.  
It began chewing up all the CPU it could.  I killed it with SIGTERM (signal 
15).  Upon restarting the browser in the usual way, it did not open any X 
windows.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. type "mozilla&" at my shell
2. When you get bored waiting for anything to happen, run "top" and see that 
Mozilla is chewing up all spare CPU cycles.

Actual Results:  
No windows appeared.

Expected Results:  
Windows should have appeared for the mail component and for the browser.
The browser should have dropped CPU usage to an insignificant amount.
