This time it might turn up something more flash related. We could also look at null crash differences between OOPP builds and non-OOPP to ensure we haven't tweaked the crash reporting system in a way that creates more null sigs. which way should we take this bug or bugs?
Summary: Broken CrashReport → Investigate Null CrashReports II
the reporter in this case had a outdated flash version and the boubleshooter site/game is a flash game, fwiw
I think Bubbleshooter is way too specific. Let's see if we can find a reproducible test case for generating a null crash sig with Flash (in windows I assume). It looks like facebook/farmville or chatroulette may be a good place to start and if so, we can see if OOPP can help with it.
We've had plenty of Flash crashes in the past that corrupt the heap so badly that we can't write out a valid minidump. I don't think there's much we can do about that aside from ship OOPP.
From CrashKill meeting: make it easy to search for these and see user comments associated as they are often telling.
Target Milestone: --- → 2.0
In the current UI for search results and top crashers, we use a special code out of band with the signature parameter to control this. This extra param is missing_sig... so something like: missing_sig=None missing_sig=Empty I think these constants are in http://code.google.com/p/socorro/source/browse/trunk/webapp-php/application/libraries/crash.php (code.google is down right now)

I think I might be able to guess why this is happening. That signature is 332 characters long and therefore won't fit in the column (signature character varying(255)). Lars, do we want to do something like truncate excessively long signatures? Will the problem go away when we hook the front end up to HBase anyway?
hbase itself doesn't have a character limit on the values, so it wouldn't be a problem on that side.
Bug 564196 was supposed to have truncated signatures to fit in the database.
The code fix for truncating signatures was targeted for 1.7. I've verified that the code exists in that release. I can see that 1.7 was pushed to production on June 10th (Bug 571228). The offending crash has a date of May 20th.
