(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect)

Description

[Eileen Carpenter]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a6) Gecko/20041202
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a6) Gecko/20041202

On using Mozilla (browser window) a dialog window appears which says memory
could not be read.  Several programs are listed as unable to read the memory,
but have only observed behavior during Mozilla sessions.  On closing dialog
window, Mozilla seems unaffected.

For example, on closing Mozilla I received a dialog box entitled DDE Server
Window with a message "Instructions at 0x7c910f2b referenced memory at
0x00000004. The memory could not be read."

Only began happening in last 2 days.  Now occuring pretty consistently on
closing Mozilla, but has also occured in middle of sessions.  Not always the
same program, though this is one I was able to stop and write down.  Another had
a name like "lucsom~1.exe" but I am uncertain of exact spelling.

I searched Microsoft Knowledge base and was unable to find this exact problem;
the only similar ones were specific for NT or other operating systems.

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Closing Mozilla seems to be doing it pretty consistently now.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
I either hit the agreement button or the close window "x" and the dialog box
goes away. Mozilla remains closed.

Expected Results:  
Closed without a dialog box popping up.
