Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 375825

(Other Applications Graveyard :: ChatZilla, defect)

Description

[worms]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8.1.2) Gecko/20070222 SeaMonkey/1.1.1
Build Identifier: ChatZilla 0.9.77-2007032319 [SeaMonkey 1.1.1/2007022206]

Opening the "join channel" window starts the search immediately.
On very large networks it takes forever. 

If I type search characters in the "quick search" during this search is performed (typing for example "nnn", waiting a bit, then typing "aaa"), a dialogue appears saying a script is busy (Options: stop script/continue). 

Neither of them work and the computer starts using 100% CPU and finally freezes.




Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open "join channel" on a large network (i.e. dalnet)
2.Type any string in the "quick search" 
3.Wait a few seconds
4.Type another string in the "quick search"
Actual Results:  
A script is busy. 
Stop script/continue don't work

Expected Results:  
100% CPU usage, computer freeze

Don't know.

I can't really tell how these two bugs are different, so...
