I see this too, with build 2005-12-18-09 of SeaMonkey trunk on Windows XP with IMAP.  Timeless, is this fallout from bug 320498, or did that merely expose a Mail/News bug?

I get:
###!!! ASSERTION: Overwriting an existing document channel!: '(loadFlags & nsIChannel::LOAD_REPLACE) || !(mDocumentRequest.get())', file /build/andrew/moz-debug/mozilla/uriloader/base/nsDocLoader.cpp, line 497
My CVS build pulled 12/17 22:30 doesn't have this bug, and my 2005-12-18-08 nightly build does, so this would seem to be bug 320375

See this in Thunderbird as well. Should this be Core-MailNews:Backend?

==> backend

[David :Bienvenu]

backing out fix for bug 309525 definitely fixes this. I'll try to figure out why...

Comment 8

[Christian :Biesinger (don't email me, ping me on IRC)]

hmm, is a mailnews channel not implementing IsPending correctly?

Comment 9

[Christian :Biesinger (don't email me, ping me on IRC)]

oh, they just always return true... urg... my code expects that IsPending doesn't return true until AsyncOpen was called.

Attachment: proposed fix

this should do the trick - it fixes the assertions, and the spinning hourglass.

And in a cruel twist, there are no builds today for Win32 so we can get rid of this bug.

SeaMonkey-builds? They are still comming in as usual. Try a mirror like this:
ftp://mozilla.ussg.indiana.edu/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/tinderbox-builds/CREATURE-trunk/

The bug is fixed. Thanks to all for that.
