286067 - imported 'mail.identity.id1.sig_file-rel' attribude crashes Thunderbird [@ nsLocalFile::SetRelativeDescriptor() ]

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 254527

(Thunderbird :: Preferences, defect)

Description

[Pavel Urban]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050302 Firefox/1.0.1 Fedora/1.0.1-1.3.2
Build Identifier: version 0.9 (20041127); thunderbird-0.9-1.fc3 (rpm package for Fedora Core 3)

After RPM installation of Thunderbird and import of preferences from older
Mozilla Suite (1.7.3), Thunderbird crashed every time I've tried to open
'Tools/Account Settings'. After manually editing prefs.js file, I've found that
this line caused the problem:
user_pref("mail.identity.id1.sig_file-rel", "[ProfD]../../../../home/pupu/sig.txt");


Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
Thunderbird crashed with SIGSEGV.

Expected Results:  
Open dialog box

Pavel Urban: Could you reproduce with Thunderbird 1.0 or actual nightbuild? If
you could reproduce with build from Mozilla.org, could you provide Talkback
incident ID?

BTW isn't sig.txt sym-linked file?

Comment 2

[Pavel Urban]

I've just tried Thunderbird 1.0 with the same result. sig.txt is a simple text
file. I don't see talkback ID; it is in 'Queued' status, though.

[Adam Hauner]

After status will change to 'Sent', you will see also ID.

Yup, after approx. 15 retries, I've got it.

The stack is same as bug 254527 - TB09 crashes when using a symlink to a
signature file. Marking as DUPE, Pavel, please reopen if you disagree.

This doesn't look like symlink issue.

[root@aphrael ~]# grep 'sig\.txt' ~/.thunderbird/f29opwpx.default/prefs.js
user_pref("mail.identity.id1.sig_file",
"/root/.thunderbird/f29opwpx.default/sig.txt");
user_pref("mail.identity.id1.sig_file-rel", "[ProfD]../../../../home/pupu/sig.txt");

[root@aphrael ~]# ls -l /home/pupu/sig.txt

(for sure)

I can investigate further, but I'm not a programmer, sorry.

Comment 7

[timeless]

it's the same issue, although perhaps the other bug's summary should be changed
slightly. please do *not* reopen.
