Description

[Mr. Beedell, Roke Julian Lockhart (RJLB) [:RokeJulianLockhart]]

Attachment: A Demonstrative Example: `[Bug 2040204] Fenix 152.0a1 returns a `SEGV_MAPERR` in `crashhelper_disable_art_image_` ⪆ 30_P1D. 2026-05-20T09_39_32+01_00.eml`

I originally discovered this at bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=519867:

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

Presumably, CC oneself to a bug, then have another user post a comment that contains “bug 517780”, which should be automatically linkified.

OBSERVED RESULT

Although bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=516769#c10 links to bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=517780, when the notification of bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=516769#c10 being posted was sent to me via e-mail, it linked to, verbatim, https://show_bug.cgi/?id=517780, instead, which is 404.

Considering that I've a tab open for bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Bugzilla, too, I've likely experienced it at other installations (although I've not proof yet). Consequently, it may be an upstream fault.

My Environment

1. #!/usr/bin/env sh
   curl -s https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/rest/version | yq -P
   

2. version: "20260520.1"
