280177 - Mozilla dies with X Error in mail composer

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 254049

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Martin Gerbershagen]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS sun4u; en-US; rv:1.8a6) Gecko/20050118
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS sun4u; en-US; rv:1.8a6) Gecko/20050118

Mozilla dies with X Error in the mail composer, if the recipient address
is obtained from the personal address book.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the mail window in IMAP mode and login to the IMAP server.
2. open the local Sent folder.
3. open last message from Sent folder
4. click compose button
5. click address button in composer window and select any address from the
   personal adress book


Actual Results:  
Mozilla dies with different X Errors. In stdout I get the following message:

WARNING: NAME not specified in initial startup message
X Error of failed request:  BadPixmap (invalid Pixmap parameter)
  Major opcode of failed request:  54 (X_FreePixmap)
  Resource id in failed request:  0x6000605
  Serial number of failed request:  24046
  Current serial number in output stream:  24049

Attaching gdb and setting a breakpoint on exit gives this stack:

The symptoms indicate a memory corruption, because the behaviour is slightly 
different from case to case. Common to all is the usage of the address selection
window and a subsequent process termination.

Can you recompile mozilla with -g so we can get a better stack in order to
pinpoint the problem. Stripped stacks are pretty much usless.

I think this doesn't help, this stack looks quite useful (or do you see any
missing function names?).

[Mark Banner (:standard8)]

This looks like the crash in bug 254049 - which has only been recorded on Linux
so far, but the results are similar to what I have seen previously with that bug.

Reporter - there is a patch attached to that bug, as it sounds like you can
compile your own build, would you try applying it and retesting, and report back
on the results please?

Comment 4

[Martin Gerbershagen]

The suggested patch from bug 254049 helps. I applied the patch and then
the crash bib not occur again.

Comment 5

[Mick Kelleher]

I am getting the same problem on some Solaris 8 systems on Mozilla 1.7.5, the
build was compiled with Sun Studio 8. The errors i am getting is...

X Error of failed request:  BadAtom (invalid Atom parameter)
  Major opcode of failed request:  17 (X_GetAtomName)
  Atom id in failed request:  0x0
  Serial number of failed request:  13482
  Current serial number in output stream:  13482

I am checking Solaris 8 patch versions to ensure i don't have a library or Xsun
error.

Comment 7

[Mark Banner (:standard8)]

Based on the symptoms, and Martin's comments (in #4) resolving as duplicate of
bug 254049. Please re-open if the symptoms persist on new builds.

Mick Kelleher: If your symptoms are persisting (although similar, they are
possibly different), please find another similar bug or open a new one. Thanks.
