Do you have a talkback ID?

I have talkback installed but I don't think it's generating anything.  I will update to a new build and see what happens.

It's not generating an incident.  I also couldn't cut and paste from the error details screen or I would have included all the module information.  If that's in a file somewhere I'll dig it up.

I went back to 0504 then updated again to 0506 full (which I had done before) and it didn't crash.  Hopefully it's gone but I don't know the explanation.

Fallout from bug 335248 and/or bug 334038?

I only crash when trying to load a folder that contains messages.

hrm, are we passing a null pointer to strlen?

mailnews does that a lot

[Benjamin Smedberg]

I can add a null-check at the top of NS_strlen to match the previous behavior of nsCRT::strlen, but I'd like to make it assert so that we can fix callers.
