71081 - Bad link locks up browser, sometimes crashes

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 44261

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[bht237]

Unzip the (to be) attached file on the local file system and click on one of the
links.
Links do not have file extensions. Need to create this bug first in case I get
another crash where I can refer to this. It's likely that more info will be
added, please treat as low priority for now.

To reproduce with testcase:
- Unzip 2 files INDEX.html and 3Dfx-HOWTO.html in local directory
- open INDEX.html
- click on "3Dfx-HOWTO" link
One would expect a message such as "URL not found" or similar but the browser
just hangs. In 3 cases which I haven't be able to reproduce, the browser crashed.

um, doesn't look like the right bug, but this is definitely a dupe.

I cannot reproduce the hang with linux build 2001-03-06-08.  I get the standard
"trying to open a file that does not exist" blank FTP view.

windows-only?

Build ID 2001030605 locks up with 100% CPU utilization under Win95 OSR2. Has
anyone else tried Win95?
