347967 - Crash pasting the text from attached file into js shell

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 105707

(Core :: JavaScript Engine, defect)

Description

[Jeff Walden [:Waldo]]

I'm encountering this while working on prefwindow stuff in bug 346942; I don't know what I'm doing that's making this happen so that I can work around it, so this *is* blocking further work there.

I doubt this is a js shell problem; however, when I try it in a non-debug Firefox trunk build, I don't get a crash.  (I'd try in a debug trunk build except that I'm a clobber away from being able to do so.)  Also, loading the file using the load() command in the JS shell doesn't crash.

Attachment: File containing crashing JS

The crash happens on the line containing this (line 124ish):

document.documentElement.openSubDialog("chrome://browser/content/preferences/phishEULA.xul",

There's also an XXX comment there directing you to the relevant line, so you don't have to read terminal scrollback to find the line that crashed.

By the way, I tried to reduce it, but of the ten or so different things I tried removing, all made the problem go away.  :-\

This was using a half-hour  old jsshell, by the way.

there's a limited buffer size (4096 chars) in jsshell. you're flooding it.
