491613 - SIGTTOU or crash when printing attempted

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 488541

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Geoff Kuenning]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.10) Gecko/2009042315 Firefox/3.0.10
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.10) Gecko/2009042315 Firefox/3.0.10

When printing is attempted using control-P, Firefox either gets a SIGTTOU or just plain crashes.  In the crash case, the automatic crash-reporting function hasn't worked for me (it just complains that it couldn't send the report, with no useful diagnostic information).

Although I have many extensions, the problem also happens in safe mode.  However, the problem is only reliably reproducible on my desktop; my laptop, which is running the same binary, sometimes work.

The problem has existed through several releases.

Running from the console or through the debugger reveals that the SIGTTOU is caused by a debugging printf:

*** glibc detected *** /h/src/utils/firefox/firefox-bin: double free or corruption (out): 0x57e12580 ***




Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Bring up any Web page, even simple text (file:///etc/passwd will do)
2.Type control-P
3.
Actual Results:  
SIGTTOU or SIGABRT

Expected Results:  
Print dialog

This may be related to bug 460533.  Please let me know if I can provide any more useful debugging information.

The backtrace from the SIGTTOU, FWIW, is:

[timeless]

wrong vendor, you want to complain to the vendor of libnss_nis
