Description

[Galen Thurber]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312

Above 50% chance of Mozilla startup causing a fatal hangup. Consumes all
resources that require a hard boot.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start mozilla
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
mozilla hangs and consumes all resources.

Expected Results:  
no crash

No start page, no proxy, no pipelining. Clean install, but using Mozilla 1.2.1
as profile. XUL.mfl was delected before clean install. Rebooted before install.
See bug 188456 for my background on 1.3x crashes.

Galen, could you try with a clean profile and see if you can reproduce this problem?

Found a way to cause 100% failure rate! 
I back tracked my steps and found a higher crash rate after closing Exodus
{jabber  client]. I then was able to create a 100% failure rate with an existing
and NEW profile if I had Exodus running before I launched Mozilla. Moz hangs at
Profile Manager. 3 reboots and the same fatal crash. 
Exodus is here
http://exodus.jabberstudio.org/

it uses SSL and XML
