307186 - failed auto update of crl file crashes firefox on exit

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 200119

(Core Graveyard :: Security: UI, defect)

Description

[jweare]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050905 Firefox/1.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050905 Firefox/1.0+

I set auto update on all CRLs imported from http://crl.verisign.com/. Several
weeks of auto updating CRLs OK. Then, a couple of weeks ago, firefox always
crashed on exit (if it had been running more than a few minutes) until I removed
2 CRLs that had failed update status. firefox now exits cleanly every time. The
CRL update failure message was not "Network Problems" but some more complex
message. I didn't save the message or note which 2 CRLs I deleted.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.imported all crl files from http://crl.verisign.com/ (those listed in July
2005) - removing CRLs that fail or are not up to date
2. set auto update on all CRLs (using default of 1 day before)
3. run for one or more update cycle (several weeks)
4. check for failed CRL updates (I had 2 but *did not note which*)
5. let firefox run for more than a few minites...then when exiting firefox, it
will crash instead of clean exit
6. remove CRLs with failed updates and repeat 5. - note firefox will exit cleanly

Actual Results:  
removing badly updating CRLs allows firefox to exit cleanly

Expected Results:  
exit cleanly even if CRL update failing for one or more CRLs

FYI:
I have use OSCP turned on.
I use a http proxy (sometimes I turn this off and go directly so I do not expect
a problem here)
