245233 - MailNews crashes [@ MimeMessage_parse_eof] when quickly viewing messages

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(MailNews Core :: MIME, defect)

Description

[Frank Wein [:mcsmurf]]

With a current cvs trunk build Mozilla MailNews crashes when quickly viewing
messages/mails. To reproduce try this:
1st method: Move many mails to your trash folder and try to delete them by
holding the DEL key (MailNews views every message for a very short time).
Mozilla crashes after some mails here.
2nd method: Go to a newsgroup with many unread messages (here the messages were
all text only) and hold the Space key (MailNews views every message for a very
short time). After some posting it crashes.

I mean "After some postings/time it crashes." here.

This regressed between 20040506 and 20040601, but i think the date where this
regressed is more towards 20040601 (can't test when this regressed, no bandwidth
to download builds).

I saw this too, when I entered a newsgroup and immediately pressed the spacebar.

Hmm, this is probably my fault. :-( I wonder if 

-  if(outer_p && ! msg->hdrs->done_p) {
+  if(outer_p && msg->hdrs && ! msg->hdrs->done_p) {

fixes the problem?

Comment 5

[Lorenzo Colitti]

On the other hand, the traces both end with:

MimeMessage_parse_eof(MimeObject * 0x00000001, int 0x00000000)

Since the function is 

static int MimeMessage_parse_eof (MimeObject *obj, PRBool abort_p)

does this mean that the function was called with a MimeObject pointer of
0x00000001 ???

My debugger says so, yes.

Comment 7

[Scott MacGregor]

I backed out the patch that introduced this crash. Hopefully Lorenzo and Frank
can figure out a fix :)

Comment 8

[Lorenzo Colitti]

I can't reproduce this.
I tried both using a trunk CVS build of Thunderbird with attachment 149627 [details] [diff] [review]
applied and a nightly build of mozilla (2004060105) which should have the
offending checkin. This is using Linux.

This is what I did:

1. Start mozilla
2. Copy a few hundred messages from an IMAP inbox into a the Trash folder in
local folders.
3. Select Trash folder
4. Keep the DEL key pressed until all messages deleted

Result: the messages were deleted as expected with no crash.

Ah, got it (I think):

Comment 10

[Lorenzo Colitti]

So I think what is happening here is that the stream is closed because before
the headers have been parsed, probably because the front end is already trying
to display the next message since this one has been deleted.

A null check on msg->hdrs should fix the crash:

-  if(outer_p && ! msg->hdrs->done_p) {
+  if(outer_p && msg->hdrs && ! msg->hdrs->done_p) {
