65232 - Alt crash on newsgroup selection (MORK)

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[cmorley]

Here's what caused the crash:

1.) get groups
2.) slowly type in alt.fan.firesgn-thtre
3.) group appears, click subscribe.
4.) group name appears in subscribed groups (so far, so good!)
5.) click on alt.fan.firesgn-thtre.  Mozilla crashes (build 2002020620) 
with message below: (damn!)
Win 98, 128megs ram, intell pIII 750.

MOZILLA caused an invalid page fault in
module MORK.DLL at 015f:604c10b6.

Restarting Mozilla: the newsgroup was there and I could select it.  However, 
(related?) Moz is not getting all the current messages in this group (as 
compared to N4.7 and IE).

Reporter : obviously your buildID is incorrect, but it if I parse it correctly,
it's really 2000020620. This is extremely old. The alt crasher has been fixed in
mozilla0.7. Please download it, or get a mozilla nightly build at
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly. Thanks!

I tested today, Jan 16th on build 2001011604 on Windows 2000, and I only get two
postings, and no crash at all.  How many messages were there supposed to be when
you filed this?

reporter, can you try to reproduce on a new profile?

Comment 5

[Håkan Waara]

This has been fixed in another bug, and does work with a fresh profile on a new 
nightly. Let's mark it WORKSFORME, feel free to reopen if you disagree.

Like I said, I tried to reproduce and couldn't.  And there hasn't been an update
in the bug, VERIFIED for now.  We can always re-file or re-open.
