Details

1. install PSM 1.3 2. start mozilla mail/news expected results: mail/news connects to POP server, downloads mail observed: 3. mail/news connects to POP server automatically (don't know why, but it happens all the time), cursor turns into an hourglass, then PSM crashes with following report: PSM caused an invalid page fault in module PSM.EXE at 0167:004d6900. Registers: EAX=00000000 CS=0167 EIP=004d6900 EFLGS=00010246 EBX=00000000 SS=016f ESP=0078fb54 EBP=0078fcc0 ECX=0078fc90 DS=016f ESI=10009b8b FS=3fbf EDX=00000001 ES=016f EDI=10009f02 GS=0000 Bytes at CS:EIP: 8b 18 8d 45 0c 50 ff 15 d8 73 4e 00 50 ff 75 08 Stack dump: 00000000 00524a9c 00000000 3001fb88 008cc1dc 0078fb88 3001acd4 008cc1dc 008b0080 00000000 00000000 0078fb98 004bc81c 0078fb98 004bc82e 008cc1c0 4. all mozilla functions (browsing, chatzilla, composer, d/l mail...) will not work until mozilla is restarted. 5. mozilla closed using File/exit command or Ctr-Q, but cannot restart program since ctrl-alt-del shows that mozilla is still running, have to select end task several times before mozilla really shuts down. 6. duplicable every time.
this is strange. May be trunk only bug. using the branch 2000-11-04-09-mn6 builds, PSM is already installed and works fine with mail/news and PSM open. We do have a bug, I think, where PSM remains loaded after exit.
it seems that the crash can only be duplicated if mozilla is set to "work online" before mail/news is started.
Worksforme. Try it again with a clean install. Delete psm.exe and the folder that it resides in, then reinstall psm from http://docs.iplanet.com/docs/manuals/psm/psm-mozilla/

the crashes stopped when i deleted the POP mail password in the password manager, so i guess it's just a bit of random weirdness.

Verified worksforme with the 11/27 Win98 trunk build.
