It has slightly increased since May 3rd.

Here are interesting correlations:
  MakeDay|EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION_READ (46 crashes)
     98% (45/46) vs.   6% (120/1975) dxva2.dll
     74% (34/46) vs.   6% (127/1975) NPSWF64_11_2_202_233.dll

It's #2 top crasher in 15.0a1 over the last day.
There's no need to track for 15.0 as it's only with 64-bit build.

In the `MakeDay` function [1], we do this:
  `month = fmod(month, 12.0);`
  [...]
  `monthday = DayFromMonth(month, leap);`

`DayFromMonth` [2] is defined like so:
  #define DayFromMonth(m, leap) firstDayOfMonth[leap][(int)m]

`firstDayOfMonth` [3] is a `double[2][13]`

In stepping through the code, I've noticed that calling `fmod(4.0, 12.0)` is producing a value of `-1.#IND`.  This doesn't happen consistently (in my testing it happens the second time `fmod` is called with those arguments), and it appears to be a bug in MSVC [4].  If the build bots are using VC++ 2005, then applying the hotfix might fix this issue.  However, I'm building with MSVC11 and this issue has cropped up with my local builds.

There are only 3 crashes in the trunk over the last 4 weeks.

Comment 5

[Scoobidiver (away)]

It still happens in 64-bit Nightly.

Comment 6

[BugBot [:suhaib / :marco/ :calixte]]

Since the crash volume is low (less than 5 per week), the severity is downgraded to S3. Feel free to change it back if you think the bug is still critical.

Bug is too old to be still actionable in any way.
