247828 - (STACK & debug info)thunderbird crashes at startup in RegisterInterface on 64-bit solaris 9

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS sun4u; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040424 Galeon/1.3.14

It seems like getter_Copies call at line # 319 in
./dom/src/base/nsScriptNameSpaceManager.cpp is not working correctly. As can be
seen from the debugger output, everything works correct upto cloning the string
in  xptiInterfaceInfo::GetName, but when I return back in
nsScriptNameSpaceManager.cpp, the if_name is not populated with the string,
mData is nil. The call if_name.get() returns a null string and hence the string
address passed to RegisterInterface at line #321 is 0x6 which dumps core in
nsCharTraits.h strlen call. The debug analysis thru dbx is attached.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. compile thunderbird 0.7 
2. run
3.

Actual Results:  
crash at the specified point

Expected Results:  
It shouldnot crash

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
