633244 - crashes [@ \N ] spiking on 4.0bX beginning around jan16 and jan23 (null crash)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 711568

(Core :: General, defect)

Description

[chris hofmann]

prior to jan 16 \N crash volume was running about 500 crashes per day on the latest 4.0 beta.

after it bumped to around 1000-1100, then took another bump to around 1700+ on jan23

lately its running at 3300+

need to try and tease out whats behind this increase.  I'll attach more detailed volume breakdown from the begin of the year, and across all beta version shortly.

Can you tell how many of these are flash related? I saw a number of stack overflow flash related crashes. stack overflows typically crash the crash reporter.

hard to tell exactly but one way to get at that would be to look at crashes that indicate they happened in the plugin process.  these two queries suggest plugin process \N crashe are a small pct. of overall \N crashes.

should this simply roll into Bug 711568 ?
