60135 - Busy wait in Alert dialog

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 56978

(Core :: Networking, defect, P3)

Description

[db]

When you try to open a webadress that does not exist their is an Alert-dialog
with the text:

www.rubadub.com could not be found. Please check the name and try again.

And while this dialog is open the CPU usage is 100%. Typical case of
busy-waiting. This is on build (M18, 2000101815). As long as I can remember this
have been the same in netscape and I have been using it since it was called
mosaic (or some other spelling, english is not my language).

ps. I tried to search for the bug but the search in bugzilla does not work. It
have showed "Please stand by..." for 10 minutes now..

No problem with 2000111420 under NT.
I tried several time and the CPU usage stays near 0%

But I use linux and it's only the unix version of mosaic/netscape/mozilla that I
talk about (in the OS field of bugzilla I marked linux). I've seen it busy-wait
in all version of netscape in both linux and solaris for as long as I can remember.

Yes
I understood but I often try Linux (or other platform) bugs to see if it is only
a linux bug or a bug that shows up across all OS.

Verified dupe, as 56978 seems to cover ALL busy-waiting dialogs.
