436809 - PNG image crashes firefox v3

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Gavin McCullagh]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9b5) Gecko/2008050509 Firefox/3.0b5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9b5) Gecko/2008050509 Firefox/3.0b5

I created a PNG image using dotty.  The image is unusually wide and I'm not convinced it's even a valid image.  file says:
 
maclist.png: PNG image data, 49887 x 451, 8-bit/color RGBA, non-interlaced

The real trouble is that it crashes firefox, repeatedly, every time.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the image.
2. Boom!


Expected Results:  
At least opened it and complained that it couldn't read it. Crashing is not good.

this is the latest version in ubuntu hardy.

WFM with Firefox 3.0 rc2.

If you run it from the command line, do you see an error message? That may be something like bug 424333 or one of its dependency.

I closed firefox and ran it from the command line (all my other tabs restored).  It initially worked fine, I then closed the tab it was in and opened the PNG file locally.  It then crashed.  The output is below.  I guess it's running out of RAM to cache pixmap.  I've got quite a lot of RAM here (2GB) but I guess there are other tabs open, etc.  

So I guess you're right, it's probably a duplicate of bug 424333?  Sorry about that.

The program 'firefox' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.
  (Details: serial 132497 error_code 11 request_code 53 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

Doesn't crash here using Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008061017 Firefox/3.0 ID:2008060309 so I guess the problems been fixed? Unless it's a problem with 32bits versus 64bits.

Confirming that it's a WFM
