298258 - XUL file with error crashes while reporting error

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 291827

(Core :: XML, defect)

Description

[Vladimir Vukicevic [:vlad] [:vladv] (needinfo me, slow to respond)]

In attempting to recreate some of the DHTML tests as standalone xulrunner tests,
I ran into this problem; stick the attached xul and js files somewhere, and
navigate to the xul file in the browser.  The backtrace:

#8  <signal handler called>
#9  0xb7360b09 in CreateSourceText (aColNumber=Variable "aColNumber" is not
available.
)
    at ../../../../mozilla-firefox/parser/htmlparser/src/nsExpatDriver.cpp:706
#10 0xb73611ac in nsExpatDriver::HandleError (this=0x888e808,

The source line passed in is valid, but "aColNumber" is completely bogus
(somewhere in the 10k's, varies from run to run).

I'm marking this duplicate of bug 291827, though it'll probably be fixed by a
combination of the fixes for bug 291827 and bug 275564.
