195227 - crashes with certain search terms

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Boris Glawe]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030220
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030220

When opening www.faz.de (newspaper in germany) and follow the link "suche" at
the very top, you get a search interface. Usually the search for any terms
succeeds, but when trying to search for the term "linux" the browser crashes, as
soon as faz.de returns the results. Again: with this search term, the crash has
always been reproducable for me, with other terms it works fine !!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.open www.faz.de
2.follow the linke "suche" at the very top
3.enter the search term "linux" -> Browser crashes

Actual Results:  
crash with the search term "linux" 

Expected Results:  
showing the search results, of course

I use mozilla 1.3b gtk2-xft compiled with gcc3.2 on redhat 8.0

Ok, have to add that it also crashes randomly with other search terms than
"linux". Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. But with the term "linux" it
was alwas reproducable for me!!

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

sounds like a dup of that other xft crash on blank spaces.... (can't reproduce
with a non-xft build).

Comment 3

[Jesiah S]

It dosn't crash on my XFT build from CVS from a  few hours ago.

Comment 4

[Christopher Blizzard (:blizzard)]

No stack traces?  I'm not crashing here.

Comment 5

[Clinton Nicholls^3]

Hmm... WFM. Gentoo Linux, Mozilla build 2003030703, gcc 3.2.2

Comment 6

[Frederic Bezies]

Doesn't crash at all with my current homemade and xft enabled mozilla build
under linux.

Reporter : Can you see this crash with a younger Mozilla-xft enabled RPM ?

Comment 7

[Olivier Cahagne]

is anyone still crashing with a recent Mozilla XFT build ?

Comment 8

[Boris Glawe]

it works for me with my 1.6a xft gtk2 version on redhat9

I think this bug can be removed. Greets Boris
