210211 - Clicking squirrelmail attachments make Mozilla networking hang

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Networking: HTTP, defect)

Description

[R.K.Aa.]

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030621

To reproduce:

Log in to a suirrelmail secure interface to a mail server,
load a mail,
click a text/html attachment (or any other attachment, seemingly):

Result:
All Mozilla networking comes to a sudden halt.
(Though local files can still be opened)
Low CPU. If I click the "stop" button it spawns an alert about the secure page,
but the network is still as dead and nothing more happens.

When exiting mozilla after this, mozilla-bin keeps running in the background.
Must "killall" to take it out.


Expected: Attachments to load, like they do just fine in 1.4* builds.

I saw this already with yesterdays build and it's still there in a 2h old cvs
build on win2k.

Steps to reproduce (for me) : 
a) open http://www.winfuture.de
b) open 5-10 storys (middle section) as Tabs in the background very fast and all
Tabs and the whole Mozilla can't load anything.

Mozilla must be also killed after closing it..

Adding regression kw

You get an ssertion loop (!) after you got in this state.
The assertions never stop and that's the reason why Mozilla doesn't close on exit :

###!!! ASSERTION: |copy_string| will never terminate: 'count_copied > 0', file .
./../dist/include/string\nsAlgorithm.h, line 91
###!!! ASSERTION: You can't |write| into an |nsWritingIterator| with no space!:
'size_forward() > 0', file ../../dist/include/string\nsStringIterator.h, line 36

confirmed; I can reproduce the assertion loop.

Rut Kristin : 
Can you reproduce this with todays build ?
This works now for me and could be fixed via bug 210119
