Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[David Barnett]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040611
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040611

compiled mozilla-1.7 from source.
After running it for somewhere around 1 minute it crashes with the message

/usr/lib/mozilla-1.7/run-mozilla.sh: line 451: 1284 Segmentation fault "$prog"
${1+"$@"}

If it is started again it doesn't show the bookmarks on the personal toolbar
until the bookmark manager is opened and closed. It also doesn't load the
homepage the second time it is started.
Also if Edit > Preferences is opened no changes can be made to any of the
options and it can't be closed without killing mozilla from the command line.
Mozilla-1.7rc3 has some of these same bugs.
Anyways I guess it's back to mozilla-1.7rc2 for now.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Compile browser from source a couple of times.
2. Start Mozilla
3. Browse
4. Crashed with Segmentation message



Expected Results:  
Stayed running

can you try .mozilla.org's binary release of 1.7?
also, if you didn't strip symbols, please grab a stacktrace with gdb and attach
it here.
what build options did you use?

I installed the binary mozilla-1.7 tar.gz package on a debian linux system. 
In fact, I installed it
first on another machine where it runs perfectly. I than copied the installed
file tree to several other debian linux machines. Only on one machine, it
crashes with an segmentation fault (immediately).
The crashing machine has debian linux kernel 2.4.18-1-k7 running on
an AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2800+, while all the other machines run on Intel chips. The
error message is the same. When I remove the /usr/local/mozilla-1.7 tree again and
run the installer directly, the installer also crashes with segmentation fault,
but only at the end of the install. The /usr/local/mozilla-1.7 directory remains
empty and in /tmp I find the temporary install files lying around.

The main difference between the AMD machine and the other machines seems to be
the CPU. All machines are up-to-date with debian stable.
BTW, the AMD machine has a working install of mozilla-1.4.

please submit the talkback report from the mozilla.org 1.7 build.  you can check
the status here:
http://talkback-public.mozilla.org/talkback/fastfind.jsp

or report the talkback ID for the report you submitted

Also happens here on (uname -a) 
Linux r2d2 2.4.21-0.13mdk #1 Fri Mar 14 15:08:06 EST 2003 i586 
browser is (firefox -v) Mozilla Firefox 0.10.1 
After this, Firefox can't be started again for several minutes. Renders it really unusable. 
 
And, please forgive a bugzilla newbie if this is not the right place, but it looks to me like this is 
the same as bug # 262589.

I found that this problem was for me linked to a bad glibc installation (mix of
different versions...).
I cleaned it up and reinstall a fresh glibc and everything went back in order.

James: were you seeing the other (non-crash) symptoms as described in comment 0?  If not, please file a new bug.  Or perhaps you were seeing bug 310137.

Comment 8

[James Rome]

Those were for a different bug. I was in the wrong window. Sorry

Comment 9

[Andrew Schultz]

ok, resolving INVALID.  crash bugs need a stacktrace or a talkback ID
