XPCWrappedNative needs to properly handle a failed PostCreate.

See bug 429442 for an example of the kind of crash that can occur when PostCreate fails. We should grab one of those patches (probably the parts of attachment 319403 [details] [diff] [review] that didn't land) and get it in soon after 1.9 ships.

Ben, can you own this?

[Ben Turner (not reading bugmail, use the needinfo flag!)]

Actually, Johnny, is this something we can do in a point release?

Comment 3

[Johnny Stenback (:jst)]

I wouldn't do this in a point release unless there's a *really* strong reason to do it...

[Samuel Sidler (old account; do not CC)]

Alright, then let's get this in 1.9.1.

Comment 5

[Johnny Stenback (:jst)]

Wanted, but not going to block on this. And if we do this, we'd need to do it quickly as this could need a lot of baking...
