657696 - Crash [@ nsMsgThread::GetRootHdr(int*, nsIMsgDBHdr**) ] and [@ nsMsgThread::GetRootHdr] (Mac)

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(MailNews Core :: Database, defect)

Description

[(mostly gone) XtC4UaLL [:xtc4uall]]

Had my Bugmail Folder (~300000 Mails, ~200 unread, set to show only unread ones) in one Tab and switched to an other Folder with Mail Items in the left Pane. The Targetfolder's Items were invisible since I set it to show only unread ones, too.
It *could* be that IMAP Fetching kicked in in the Moment of the Folder Switching and that the Folder's Msg Database got updated.

Totally not repro'able ;-).

critical :)

bp-402a0a9d-6aba-4334-b091-f2e782110517 signature is pdr (pretty dang rare). 12 crashes in 4 months, across all 3.0 and 3.1 releases.

perhaps this is the same crash as nsMsgThreadedDBView::ListThreadIds(unsigned int*, int, unsigned int*, int*, char*, int, int*, int*)

looks like a strong uptick in crashes compared to version 3.x. mostly startup crashes. 

#4 crash so far for Thunderbird 5.0, but at least half the people submitted >1 crash. But cutting the count by 1/4 still puts it in top 10, so topcrash

Attachment: fix for newer crashes

I believe wsmwk said that this stack trace is now the top mailnews-code-related crash (and #4 overall). This null check should fix that. I'd like to get this in for 6 and 7, if possible.

Comment 4

[David :Bienvenu]

getting on tb 6 and 7 radar. The increase in crashes was a regression in tb 5

Comment 5

[Wayne Mery (:wsmwk)]

yeah, we should try to get this for v5. Marginally #3 crash, if you include the Mac crash signature "nsMsgThread::GetRootHdr"

Mac crash bp-53403390-9dca-4f4b-8445-5f5c12110608 reporter sez "On top of it [the crash], the date is configured to read 66//11 for mails of 6 June 2011 (for example) in the entire Thunderbird. Currently, I have stopped using it. I have switched to the Mail system under MAC."
