no crashes found for trunk users, but branch crash numbers are low enough that it this isn't a surprise.

Comment 1

[Makoto Kato [:m_kato] (PTO until 5/6)]

When the end of buffer is space (0x20), this crash can occurs.

Comment 2

[Wayne Mery (:wsmwk)]

m_kato, can you suggest a patch?

Do we really need a test case here?

So this allowed contents to be 1 past 'end' if there were just spaces at the end? Is that the bug and cause of the crash when we accessed contents later?

why wouldn't we want one?

Comment 7

[:aceman]

Of course it would be fine to have one, but do we want to wait another 4 years for it? Isn't the bug and fix known? I don't say it is as I am not familiar with the code. I'm just asking.

4 years for a fix doesn't mean it'd take 4 years to make a test :)

But it's up to Joshua

Comment 9

[Wayne Mery (:wsmwk)]

m_kato, can you construct a testcase?

Comment 10

[Makoto Kato [:m_kato] (PTO until 5/6)]

Joshua, as long as I know, you have a plan that you replace old netscape's MIME code with JS's code.  When?  next major release?

If next major release replaces with js's code, this bug may be unnecessary.

Nowhere near that soon, unfortunately.

question for m_kato?

[Makoto Kato [:m_kato] (PTO until 5/6)]

Wayne, I cannot find same signage now.  Does this still occur?

Comment 14

[Wayne Mery (:wsmwk)]

Indeed, no crashes after 24.8.1, for example bp-04e292eb-955f-42bd-b21e-2495b2151208.
Either the signature changed or joshua/someone fixed something

what's left in mime-world are bug 564701, bug 469087, bug 547621, bug 844647.
