212054 - When cache folder >2000 items, will eventually cause crash, then program won't start at all

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Camino Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Jennifer Raiter]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20030306 Camino/0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20030306 Camino/0.7

Several times Camino has crashed and then been un-bootable; that is, the program
tries to open and never finishes opening (splash screen never comes up even
though hard drive is ticking away). I'm not really technically savvy, and the
only fix I have come up with is deleting everything in the cache (I haven't
found a way to purge the cache from within Camino). This last time, there were
over 6000 items in the cache folder when it crashed. Once those items are
deleted, Camino will start again.

Selected Crash log info:

Date/Time:  2003-07-05 19:44:25 -0400
OS Version: 10.2.6 (Build 6L60)

Command:    Camino
PID:        2929

Exception:  EXC_BAD_ACCESS (0x0001)
Codes:      KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE (0x0002) at 0x00000000

If you decide you can do something with this, please let me know if I'm leaving
out any other info that would be helpful.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Wait until cache exceeds 2000 items.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Program crash, then won't start again until all cache items deleted.

Expected Results:  
Continued to function and start as intended.

if you let it go, eventually it will start. this has been fixed in recent builds.
