cc'ing gordon and darin

Comment 5

[neeti]

Reporter: Can you specify a url which causes this crash?

Comment 6

[Adam C]

www.betanews.com
www.voodooextreme.com
www.anandtech.com
www.tomshardware.com

and others.  Sometimes crashes going from one to another.

Comment 7

[neeti]

This looks a dup of bug 74506.

Comment 8

[John Morrison]

How is a crash in DNS related to a (relatively benign) failure to fire onload?

Comment 9

[gordon]

I can't reproduce this on Windows NT 4.0.1381.  Asa, we're you able to reproduce
this, or did you did the stack trace out of the talkback data?

Adam, does this still happen for you?  nsDNSService::AllocMsgID hasn't been
touched in over a year.  It's not clear how it could crash, unless the the
nsDNSService itself was somehow corrupted.

[Matthias Versen [:Matti]]

Reporter: 
Can you try it again with a new profile ?
(run  "mozilla -profilemanager")

Comment 11

[Asa Dotzler [:asa]]

The stacktrace is what I pulled out ot Talkback.  Sorry for the confusion.  I am
not able to reproduce this on any platform (including win2K)

Comment 12

[Adam C]

Yes I tried a new profile, does the same thing.  Tried re-installing several 
times (each time wiping all traces of Mozilla).  I can send anyone who wants it 
a copy of my crash log (dr watson) and talkback log if that would help, just e-
mail me and ask.

Comment 13

[gordon]

Has anyone beside Adam been able to reproduce this, or heard rumors of others 
being able to reproduce it?

Asa, do we have other talkback reports of this crash?

Comment 14

[Matthias Versen [:Matti]]

I can´t reproduce it with win2k build 20010408.. (CVS)

Reporter: Are you using a proxy or other special settings ?
(Have you a SMP machine ? Have you Win2k Professional or server ?..)
Can you try it with a a new build ?
Have you write access to any directorys.(Please try it as Admin/root)

Can you try to delete c:\winnt\mozregistry.dat. 

Comment 15

[Adam C]

I'm running behind a NAT based firewall, one gateway setting in my TCP/IP 
settings does the trick.  I do not have an SMP machine.  Win 2k Pro SP1.  I've 
tried new builds, old builds, all do the same thing.  I am logged in as Admin.  
When I say I wipe mozilla when I do a re-install I also delete the 
mozregistry.dat file, yes.

Comment 16

[Asa Dotzler [:asa]]

godron, the reporter included the top of the stack and the incident ID of the
talkback report in his original comment.  In my first comment in the bug I
pasted the stack trace from that talkback report into the bug.

Comment 17

[neeti]

I am unable to reproduce the crash for all the sites reported above on win NT 
4.0

Comment 18

[Matthias Versen [:Matti]]

I can´t reproduce it with win2k. I use also NAT for my connection (Windows 2k 
ICS -> Internet Connection Sharing)

Comment 19

[Adam C]

To anyone who cannot reproduce this bug I'll send you a copy of my talkback and 
dr watson log of it crashing, to show you I'm not insane, really :)  I'm just 
trying to figure out WTF is going on...PS I also tried Netscape 6.x awhile back 
and it did the exact same thing, if that helps.

Comment 20

[Darin Fisher]

Comment 24

[benc]

mass move, v2.
qa to me.

Comment 25

[Matthias Versen [:Matti]]

Reporter: Is this a problem with a new build ?
Can you poste a new Talkback ID (many network code changed) ?

Comment 26

[Adam C]

Hey sorry about the delay in reply, I haven't tried the latest build yet, I 
will do so today and report.

Comment 27

[Matthias Versen [:Matti]]

[e-mail]: Is this now fixed ?

Comment 28

[Adam C]

Well I re-loaded my machine (not because of this problem) and that seemed to 
help, also am running 9.3 now and it doesn't crash as often however visiting 4-
5 sites in a row will still crash on the last one, say 3 out of 5 times.  Let 
me know who to send the log of it's crashing too and they can tell me if it's 
related or not.  Thanks!

Comment 29

[Asa Dotzler [:asa]]

adamc, can you please reproduce this crash a few times and send in those
talkback reports with a comment "bug 73890" and then post the Talkback IDs here
in this bug. thanks.
