302794 - winEmbed.exe crashes on start [@ nsXULAppInfo::GetID]

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Toolkit :: Startup and Profile System, defect, P2)

Description

[Alex]

In firefox built and pulled from today's trunk (July 30 2005), the winEmbed.exe
executable crashes on loading.

I get:
"Unhandled exception at 0x00880599 in winEmbed.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation
reading location 0x00000018."
The microsoft debugger dumps me at the end of "void * __cdecl _heap_alloc_base
(size_t size)" in malloc.c.

The callstack is:

The winEmbed.exe startup messages says failure to launch is one of the few legit
bugs to file against it.

Comment 1

[Alex]

MOZ_CO_DATE="15 Jul 2005 13:34 PDT" works so now we have a window for when the
breakage occurred

Comment 2

[timeless]

i don't understand why you don't have symbols for nspr, are you copying to
another computer?

please setup windbg and configure it to at least use the microsoft symbol server.

if you can't get symbols to work in reasonable ways, try just copying the pdbs
with matching names next to the dll's/exe's listed in your stack trace. i've
cc'd some people who will hopefully be able to walk you through this process.

if you can visit irc.mozilla.org, that'd be helpful

Trying to track this thing down

mk_add_options MOZ_CO_DATE="17 Jul 2005 13:34 PDT" works 

at mk_add_options MOZ_CO_DATE="21 Jul 2005 3:34 PDT", I get an assertation

MOZ_CO_DATE="21 Jul 2005 13:34 PDT" I get the crash loading (forgot to build
debug, whoops)

Comment 4

[timeless]

those asserts are normal, we ignore them.

Comment 5

[Alex]

If they assertation failures are normal why do they only occur at "21 Jul 2005
3:34 PDT" and not "20 Jul 2005 13:34 PDT"?

Anyway backtrace from "21 Jul 2005 13:34 PDT" (crash loading):
