Attachment: Screenshot of what happens with BuildID 2004091804

In builds that don't crash, you get a window with only a toolbar titled Privacy
Policy Viewer

Comment 2

[Ian Neal]

Crash starts happening between buildID 2004091804 and 2004092705

Comment 3

[Ian Neal]

Stepping through with venkman indicates the crash happens when mozilla gets to:
http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/extensions/p3p/resources/content/nsPolicyViewer.js#124

> do you get any errors in the javascript console?

No (i also see the bug, though not the crash). The problem is the content of the
page is actually generated, but not displayed (checked with DOM Inspector).
Anyway is this bug about the crash or the faulty display now?

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.8a5) Gecko/20041022

http://www.ibm.com/us/

first visit: no Privacy Summary shown
waited until the site had loaded, opened View->PageInfo, waited until PageInfo´s
loading progress bar finished, and then looked at PageInfo´s tabs.
Summary on Privacy gave a dialog telling me there is no info.

then I followed some links, Notebook Sales and selection individual
configuration was loading Java, went on to storage.

Then I closed the tab, opened the URL from here again
second visit: Privacy summary shown.

Maybe because I had a lot of session cookies collected in the meantime?

The only build I managed to get a crash that generated a talkback was
2004101607. The other builds with crashes (2004092705 and 2004102106) don't
startup talkback. I will try with a new profile and see what happens.

Comment 8

[Ian Neal]

I've pulled down the latest nightly zip (2004102207), extracted the files into a
new directory (so no plugins or extensions), moved my profile directory out of
the way, started mozilla, created a new profile and followed my steps.

After sitting at 80-99% cpu for about 30-40 seconds mozilla crashes and doesn't
kick in the talkback. I've repeated this on two WinXPSP2 boxes so far, I'll try
a RH9.0 box and a 3rd WinXPSP2 box now.

[Ian Neal]

Does not crash on RH7.0, I've logged Bug 265683 in reference to the problems on
that platform.

Workaround for this known bug on zip-packages, if talkback.exe is in the
components directory, but doesn´t work:
delete compreg.dat in the components directory, it will be recreated at next start.

Comment 14

[Ian Neal]

Using BuildID 2004102207, and fixing zipped talkback problem as per comment 13,
talkback ID is TB1472405Y

Comment 15

[Ian Neal]

Stack signature from talkback is GDI32.dll + 0x95b5 (0x77f195b5) 9c064c56

Comment 16

[Ian Neal]

The patch on Bug 265683 seems to stop this crash being triggered but I guess the
underlying problem is still there.

Comment 17

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

The underlying problem ain't page info...

Comment 18

P3P support has been removed.
