Details

Filed as unconfirmed until we get a handle on this. It is reported that, using the NT version of NSPR on Windows NT-family systems (e.g. win2k) where IPv6 is NOT enabled, calls to PR_OpenTCPSocket(PR_AF_INET6) frequently fail. PR_Socket calls _pr_push_ipv6toipv4_layer which fails. It is claimed that the test program(s) are not Out Of Memory, and that the incidence of failure of PR_Socket on non-IPv6 WinNT systems is high (not specified more precisely, sorry). This makes me wonder: do we have any test coverage for this case? Do we ever test PR_OpenTCPSocket(PR_AF_INET6) on WinNT systems where IPv6 is disabled? Do we have any empirical reason to believe it works? There is a bug filed that says that our nightly QA ignores test failures. Is this test failure one of the ones that is being ignored?
Summary: _pr_push_ipv6toipv4_layer fails when called from PR_Socket in WinNT on systems → _pr_push_ipv6toipv4_layer fails on WinNT systems w/o IPv6
Actually there is no evidence that this function failed. Marking as INVALID.
