27071 - Having an intl ENV variable set segfaults mozilla

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 26252

(Core :: Internationalization, defect, P3)

Description

[Daniel Egger]

If you start MOZILLA with the LANG or LC_ALL variable set to anything
than C mozilla will segfault at startup. This is a short trace:
WEBSHELL+ = 1
WEBSHELL+ = 2
assuming d&d is off for Navigator
nsCollationUnix::Initialize mLocale = de
nsCollationUnix::Initialize mCharset = ISO-8859-1
nsCollationUnix::Initialize mLocale = de
nsCollationUnix::Initialize mCharset = ISO-8859-1

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x40509ade in nsCharsetMenu::CompareItemTitle (this=0x835a3b8, aItem1=0x109,
    aItem2=0x83c9510, aCollation=0x83cb0a0)
    at ../../../../src/mozilla/intl/uconv/src/nsCharsetMenu.cpp:766
766           *aItem2->mTitle, &res);

You can very easily reproduce this on any linux/glibc2 system.
Unfortunatelly I don't quite know what's the cause of this but I'm trying to
track that further.
