(Core Graveyard :: Profile: BackEnd, defect, P3)

Description

[Grace Bush]

Steps to reproduce:
1. Run mozilla -ProfileManager
2. Select unmigrated profile 

Actual results: Linux-app quits, profile dir created in .mozilla -empty 
directories, nothing copied over. 
from console
Profile Manager : Profile Wizard and Manager activites : Begin
Profile Manager : Command Line Options : Begin
Profile Manager : Command Line Options : End
WEBSHELL+ = 1
Move window by 511.5,383.5
profile list = gbush - migrate
profile list = gbush - migrate
WEBSHELL+ = 2
Inside Migrate Profile routine.
ProfileManager : GetProfileDir
WEBSHELL+ = 3
ProfileManager : CreateUserDirectories
start with profile: gbush
ProfileManager : StartApprunner
ProfileManager : GetProfileDir
ProfileManager : GetProfileDir
----------------------------------------------
next time in Profile Manager - profile is showing as unmigrated

Win build-no console but same behavior, directories get created (ImapMail etc), 
but files are not copied to the directories. 
**automigration is working

builds 2000020808 Linux, 2000020809 Win (NT/95)

Seth, the debug stmts in the console look like ones you enabled recently.  Can 
you or Don decipher where we were when the app quit?

Well, since the string "*Entered Actual Migration routine*" never displayed on 
the console I'd suggest that the actual migration code was never entered. The 
only caveat is that line is surrounded by #if_defined(NS_DEBUG) so I don't know 
if Grace's build would have that code in it.  The statement "Inside Migrate 
Profile routine" comes from nsProfile.cpp.  That line is surrounded by #if 
defined(DEBUG_profile) which is obviously on in Grace's build.

Looking more closely into the issue, it appears to be an issues with object 
creation/destruction of nsPrefMigration component from morning's debug build. 
More updates with tomorrow's tinderbox builds (it's all red now).

This always looked like problem outside the profile domain.
Marking invalid.
