235959 - mozilla hangs with 100% cpu on bare address in url window [@ nsGnomeVFSProtocolHandler::Init]

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Jim Brown]

User-Agent:       
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; OSF1 alpha; en-US; rv:1.7b) Gecko/20040228

Enter a value in url window (e.g. cstars.rsmas.miami.edu).
mozilla is now hung using 100% cpu.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. enter a bare address in url window: e.g. cstars.rsmas.miami.edu
2. see mozilla hung with 100% cpu usage
3. there is no #3




This seems to be a recent regression.

There is a similar kind of 100% cpu hang if I enter a file download in the url
window, e.g. 
http://www.realsoftware.com/download/alphas_betas/REALbasic551fc1MacClassic.sit

The UI is hung but the file download appears to be progressing.
I did not wait to see if the UI would come back to life after the download finished.

Attachment: Traceback on file download attempt

Traceback looks the same as the first attachment.
This appears to be the same problem.

This is really a crash (if I use the debugger).
It is only a hang because mozilla does not successfully trap the SEGV fault.

Trunk build on 040227 15:56 does not have this problem.
Trunk build on 040228 11:03 has this problem.
Trunk build on 040301 16:24 still has this problem.

this is not a problem for me under linux.  nsGnomeVFSProtocolHandler is an
optional extension that was added just recently (See bug 233305).  perhaps there
is some problem with OSF/1 that prevents it from working correctly?  who
generated the OSF/1 build, and what options were used to compile it?  perhaps
this option should be specified:

  --disable-gnomevfs

[Jim Brown]

--disable-gnomevfs does get rid of the crash but this does not resolve the
question of why mozilla crashes with gnomevfs.  I will see if I can get anywhere
with the debugger.

Comment 7

[Vincent Lefevre]

The crash may come from the fact that glib-1.2 (from gtk) and glib-2.0 (from
GnomeVFS) are used at the same time. Can you confirm?
See bug 238374.
