23885 - Bad crash when opening nonexistant file

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect, P2)

Description

[Richard Zach]

When trying to open an non-existant file, instead of getting a "file not found"
error, you get a blank browser window, memory usage increases rapidly.  Finally,
when the swap space is full, my terminal hangs, and only an X-server shutdown
from another terminal will make it usable again.

To reproduce:
1. Open file:///nonexistant or File | Open File | nonexistant

Actual result:
Browser window goes blank, memory usage increases until termianl dies
Expected result:
"File not found" error message

Linux build 2000.01.13.08

Travis, is this a URL loading problem?  If so, who should get this?  Rick?

(BTW, I think we can kick this out to M15 if we have to.)

I see this also on linux also. Had to reboot.

Shrir, and you check this out on mac and windows?

Is this related to bug #21873 (blank file name in download dialog causes crash)?

Comment 4

[Richard Zach]

The symptoms of 21873 are very different.  There, you start the download and
crash imediately with a SEGFAULT.  Here, you don't crash, you jsut overload the
system until it shuts down.  If you hist CTRL-C in gdb and say where, this is
what you get:

0x402a27d0 in __poll (fds=0xbf5ffcbc, nfds=1, timeout=28854)
    at ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/poll.c:45
../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/poll.c:45: No such file or directory.
(gdb) where

Comment 6

[shrirang khanzode]

I tried this on Mac and Windows and had to restart my systems.

Comment 7

[Tom Everingham]

same thing.  Window's NT when I try to get a local file listing using c:\.  Blue
screen.  Changing OS from Linux to All.

Adding "crash" keyword to all known open crasher bugs.

Comment 9

[Richard Zach]

I don't see this anymore on Linux build 2000.01.30.09.  Fixed on Mac and Windows
as well?

Although I don't get an alert, the console says:
Error loading URL file:///test 

Comment 10

[Paul MacQuiddy]

yes, this works for me okay on windows/mac also, marking worksforme with 1/31 

Comment 11

[Paul MacQuiddy]

verified

Comment 12

[Richard Zach]

Should this be open until the "expected result" happens, which is a "file not
found" alert?  Or is that bug 20445?

Comment 13

[Paul MacQuiddy]

I'll open a new bug and cc: you

Comment 14

[Richard Zach]

Don't: I just found it.  Bug 19073.
