WFM on today's branch nightly.  

Please include the exact url on which you crashed and attach the Mac OS X crash log to the bug (using the "Create a New Attachment" link above).

There are a bunch of crashes related to Flash in bugzilla with functions similar to the stack trace in that log.

Reporter, please try a recent nightly build and see if you can reproduce.

Here is the crashlog from the May 22nd 2006 nightly. The crash still remains.

What version of Flash do you have installed?

Comment 6

[Ryan Johnk]

I had 8.0.22 installed. I installed the 8.0.24 update and the crash still occurs.

Ah, I just crashed once with ad-blocking off (loading the page for the Twin Cities breakdown), but have been unable to reproduce it.  I expect it's related to the ad rotation; which is going to make it a bear to figure out :-(

Ryan, do you have ad-blocking on or off?

Simon, Mark, timeless: can we tell anything at all from the stack alone?  This is gonna be hard to repro reliably/easily...I've run a couple dozen or so searches with ad-blocking off in my 1.8branch debug build and only managed to crash about 3 times (and about a dozen with ad-blocking on and no crashes).

m1.2mdn.net seems to be the server that Camino is attempting to contact right about when the crash happens, so that might be the source of the ad that causes the crash.

I'll upload a crash log from my 1.8branch debug build (line numbers!) in the event that'll help some without requiring you to spend an hour searching for apartments to repro yourselves....

Looks like it's either Java or Flash (logs show both loaded).

[Kurt Weinschenker]

Tested with Camino nightly 2007030222 (1.1b+) running under Mac OS 10.4.8 with all security and Java updates.

Unable to duplicate this; perhaps it could turn to WFM?

Comment 12

[Chris Lawson (gone)]

Ryan, are you able to reproduce this with either Camino 1.5 or a recent trunk (2.0pre) nightly?

Comment 13

[Ryan Johnk]

The crash does not happen with Camino 1.5. This particular issue appears to be resolved for this website.

Without a reliable testcase, it's going to be pretty hard to do anything with this bug. I'm going to close it WORKSFORME and if the crash shows up again, a new bug should be filed (unless it's this exact crash on this exact site). It's also possible that something was changed in Camino between 1.0 and 1.5 that fixed this, but without knowing exactly what it was, this has to be WFM.
