After having used Leech FTP and then launching Mozilla,  The following problem
presents:

FIREFOX caused a general protection fault
in module NVDISP.LRC at 0002:000045c8.

The system is pretty much completely locked up after this point.
I managed to save a copy of the message in my e-mail client.  The system then
rebooted after I clicked "close"!!

I have also had the system just lock up,  only way out is power or reset.

It occured in 1.01 also,  a few times.
Today I got Firefox 1.02,  and it happens also.
Pretty repeatable.

Other things actively running in the system:
AVG
Zone Alarm Pro
The Bat!
Spy Sweeper




Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Run Leech and FTP some stuff somewhere
2.Run Firefox
3.crash crash crash!

Actual Results:  
FIREFOX caused a general protection fault in module NVDISP.LRC at 0002:000045c8


all I got.
I may have a link to LeechFTP if you need it.
Nvdisp is likely a nVidia display driver. I recall some issues with older nVidia
drivers, you might want to try getting the latest version from nvidia.com.
From an email from the reporter. Please post all communication in the bug.
Bugzilla is a collaborative tool posting in the bug allows anyone to view the info.

Yes,  I will go looking for later video drivers,  should have them
anyway.

The video card is an ASUS V9180 Magic V44.69a.
The version number of the NVDISP.LRC is 4.14.10.4469

It is interesting to note that there has been no problem
in general with Firefox 1.0, 1.01, 1.02.  All works fine until I use
LeechFTP.

It is only recently in the process of changing ISP's,  and moving my
WEB site and using LeechFTP to upload my website to the new provider
that I encountered this problem.

By the way the link to LeechFTP is here:

Downloaded and installed the latest released ASUS Video drivers for a V9180 V56.64.
Re-Tested in slightly different order.
Had Firefox 1.02 already running.
Launched LeechFTP.  FTP'd a page up to WEB site.
Closed Leech.
Closed Firefox.
Launch Firefox.
Get BSOD,  Fatal exception 06 at 0000:00001046
It appears to me that you may be having a memory problem.  Can you download
Knoppix and run memtest86 from the CD, please?  I don't think this is an issue
in either your video drivers or the applications by looking at the error messages.
To save you the trouble of searching, and probably ending up downloading Knoppix
(a 700MB ISO) as I suggested, heres a link to an ISO of just the memtest tool,
bootable CD, fits on a mini-CD if you don't want to waste a full CD-R.

http://www.memtest86.com/memtest86-3.2.iso.zip

There you be, no searching necessary.
No trouble,  I already have Memtest86.
Just ran it,  8 passes,  0 errors.
Have also just tried decreasing the hardware acceleration in the performance tab
of the video card properties,  now down 2 notches from where it was,  no effect.

The system is not overclocked.  It is otherwise a very stable system.
I can't really think of anything else to suggest to you.  I don't have LeechFTP
available to try to reproduce this (I use FileZilla), but I can't readily see
what the issue is other than what I have already suggested.  Because of what I
did read in the error message, I am not thinking it is a Firefox issue, but I
may be wrong.  
This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
