229281 - Mozilla does not kill all threads at shut down

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 236768

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Jim Prather]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007

I have seen several cases where mozilla failed to perform a graceful shut down
and left threads running. Mozilla could not be restarted until the thread was
manually killed. These were not invalid page fault crashes. It appeared that
Java (1.4.2_01) crashed and then mozilla just disappeared.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. This is ad-hoc gorilla testing. 
2. Force a Java crash, i.e. at
sun.awt.font.NativeFontWrapper.registerFonts(Native Method)
	- locked <0x141a94c0> (a java.lang.Class)
3.

Actual Results:  
Java crashed and logged the crash.
Mozilla disappeared.
Mozilla threads were still running.
Could not restart mozilla.
Had to manually kill mozilla.

Expected Results:  
Graceful shut down. Mozilla can be restarted without intervention.

workaround: 
Upgrade to Java 1.4.2_03  http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/
Another reason for upgrade will be that the verisign certificates for older Java
versions expire Jan 7th, 2004, so applets may be not allowed to connect via https:

There is a strong possibility that this bug, bug 254281 and bug 236540 are all
DUPLICATEs of bug 236768.

I am resolving this bug as a duplicate. If you can reliably reproduce the
problem with the latest nightly build and while using the latest JRE version
(right now, Version 1.5.0, build 1.5.0_02-b09), then reopen bug 236768. As it
stands, this is  a duplicate bugfile.
