266526 - A google search on 'fedora portrait' causes Fedora Core 2 to reset.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 244340

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Lee Reilly]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.2) Gecko/20040803
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.2) Gecko/20040803

I was searching google to get information on configuring it to work with my
monitor (you can turn it 90 degree to be portrait). I used search terms like
"fedora monitor", "fedora 90 degrees", etc. When I enter "fedora portrait", or
"fedora [INSERT RANDOM WORDS/CHARS HERE] portrait' the screen blanks, closes all
my applications without prompting me to save, and brings up the login screen. I
also do a search on 'fedora portrate' (spelled incorrectly on purpose), and
click on the hyperlink, 'Are you sure you don't mean FEDORA PORTRAIT?' (linking
to http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=fedora+portrait&spell=1), and it does
the same.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Find a computer running Fedora Core 2.
2. Save all unsaved work.
3. Go to http://www.google.com.
4. Enter 'fedora' and 'portrait in the seach bar i.e. [fedora portrait].
5. Hit search.

Actual Results:  
Screen blanks, unsaved work is lost, and you're prompted to log in again.

Expected Results:  
Show some google search results for 'fedora portrait'. The search term doesn't
cause a problem with any Konquerer.

If you need any information like this, email me and I will provide. I was
sceptical at first, but I truly believe that this problem lies in Mozilla. This
is the first bug I've submitted, so apologies if it is incorrectly labeled /
documented. Feel free to place it a more appropriate location.

1. I can see the Google results page for about 0.2 secs. The vertical scroll bar
seems to become infinately huge. Maybe it can't deal with some character in the
result set.

2. I just saved the results of google page as HTML, and emailed them to myself.
It crashed Mozilla Mail too. I will attach HTML file.

Attachment: This HTML shutsdown Fedora Core 2.

Are you using an XFT-enabled build?  (one from Fedora or one from .mozilla.org?)

No. I downloaded the distribution from mozilla.org. Here are my configure
arguments: 

--disable-tests --enable-extensions=default,irc --without-system-nspr
--without-system-jpeg --without-system-zlib --without-system-png
--without-system-mng --disable-debug '--enable-optimize=-O2 -gstabs+'
--enable-crypto

Comment 5

there are a few bogus characters at the top of the page (although I don't see
them if I do my own google search)

dupe of "non-xft builds crash X server when viewing pages with unrecognized
unicode characters"
