Mozilla does not crash

Running Mozilla 20030305 on Debian Unstable.  Tested on Mozilla 1.2.1 on Windows
2000 but it doesn't crash there.
Works for me, build ID 20030310 on solaris 8/sparc using gtk2. No crash while
typing into the form.
WFM Linux 2003031105
are you using a .mozilla.org build?  please provide a talkback ID
Keywords: crash
I am using mozilla-browser-snapshot version 0.0.20030305.09.trunk-1 in Debian
Unstable; I originally discovered the bug in Galeon, but verified that the bug
still occurs when running mozilla.  I don't think I have talkback installed... ?
builds from Debian won't have.  please grab a stacktrace from gdb (assuming
Debian didn't strip all the symbols) or try a build from .mozilla.org:

I believe Debian strips the symbols:

I tried the 2003031205 build from mozilla.org and it did not experience the
crash, so guess it's been fixed since 20030305 (the date of my Debian build). 
I'll come back if the next Debian update still crashes.  
"mozilla-snapshot" is probably a script.  You would need to start Mozilla
normally, attach gdb to Mozilla, and then make it crash.
Ah.  So that's why it didn't work.  I tried attaching gdb to the running
process, but mozilla would not redraw the screen when gdb was attached to it.  I
instead followed the directions at
http://www.mozilla.org/unix/debugging-faq.html, but the Debian snapshot was
compiled without debugging symbols.  Here's what I got:

Shouldn't this bug be resolved INVALID or WORKSFORME? First because it was filed
against a Debian build and again because an official Mozilla.org build doesn't
have it?
And (now that I tested it myself) for a third reason, I was unable to produce
this crash with Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7b) Gecko/20040411
I'm going to mark this WFM. I didn't realize the dates all said 2003 not 2004...

Reporter, if you can still see this bug with a recent nightly from mozilla.org,
then feel free to reopen this bug.
