47045 - browser crashed / segfaulted after short inactive period

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect, P3)

Description

[Aaron J Trevena]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.2.14 i686; en-US; m17) Gecko/20000725
BuildID:    2000072521

When browser has been inactive or I have used other desktop or window for
moderate periods it segmentation faults while I'm not looking.

This can happen on any page - has happened on most of the linux oriented sites
at some point - lwn.net, lbw.eu.org, slashdot.org, ntk.net.

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1.go to page
2.use a different desktop (in X)
3.wonder where mozilla went
4.look at xterm where error log is and c&p to bugzilla

Actual Results:  Mozilla disappeared with a segfault error

Expected Results:  not segfaulted?
er... it should have continued to show the page it was viewing


error getting url widget service: TypeError. Component.classes[progid] has no
properties.

[list of urls snipped because c&p is not working]

./run-mozilla.sh: line 29: 3535 segmentation fault $prog ${1+"$@"}

Could not reproduce on 2000080308. Does this still happend with recent builds?

Comment 2

[Aaron J Trevena]

has been repeated on the last few builds including (my) current one:2000072905

Running SuSE 6.4 vanilla on a HP Brio PIII 500 w/128MB and 11GB.

less frequent after installing PSM but haven't tried any SSL sites yet.

will try latest build & reinstall PSM and report back.

Comment 6

[Aaron J Trevena]

after a short period of few problems, mozilla m18 nightlies regularly segfault
behaviour as for previous versions.

below is the result for build id:20000082121 using gdb as debugger.

Aaron, can you download a talkback build (I think the Installer builds are
talkback enabled) and report back if it generates a crash report.  thanks
