24396 - Crash trying to launch new profile created via -mail .

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect, P3)

Description

[laurel]

Using 2000-01-19-08 commercial build on linux 6.0

I'm getting a crash after creating a new profile when using the Manage Profiles
button from within the Select User Profile dialog (launching ./mozilla -mail)
then trying to launch that new profile.

I am able to create and launch a new profile without crashing if I use the
direct method of initially going through the Manage User Profiles (launching
./mozilla -installer).

1.  Launch 5.0 by command line ./mozilla -mail, where there are already a couple
profiles in existence.  The Select User Profile dialog will appear.
2.  From the Select User Profile dialog, click the Manage Profiles button.  The
Manage User Profiles dialog will appear.
3.  From the Manage User Profiles dialog, click New Profile button. A Create New
Profile dialog/wizard will appear. Click Next, give profile a name, then click
Finish.  Your are taken back to select user profiles dialog.
4.  Select the profile you just created and click Start Mozilla.
    Result:  a crash occurs.

Actual result:  Crash occurs trying to launch freshly created profile when
launching via ./mozilla -mail.  Crash does not occur if you launch a newly
created profile when doing so via ./mozilla -installer.

Expected result:  Either method should yield the same result -- no crash.

This is not a profile manager bug (although I do see the crash on RH 6.0 using
2000-01-19-16.)  The mail window was trying to initialize itself as evidenced by
the messages in the console:

I'm assuming, Grace, that you meant to change QA assignee to you?  Changing it
from lisa to you.
