73916 - Crash by clicking on a link; may be Java-related

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 84093

(Core Graveyard :: Java: OJI, defect, P3)

Description

[Mark Bialkowski]

At http://members.nbci.com/charleyx, a Java-based menu attempts to load in the
left-hand frame.  It fails to load.  Clicking on the "Load HTML Menu" link, or
even attempting to reload the frame, causes Mozilla to segfault.

Using build 2001032809 and the Java 2 plugin available through
http://home.netscape.com/plugins/jvm.html.

The last few lines in the console leading up to the segfault:

Document http://www.google.com/ loaded successfully
Document http://www.google.com/search?q=X-men+mutatis loaded successfully
JavaScript error: 
http://members.nbci.com/_XMCM/charleyx/footer.js line 10: unterminated string
literal

Document http://members.nbci.com/_XMCM/charleyx/jexplorer/popupchat.html loaded
successfully
Document http://members.nbci.com/charleyx/ loaded successfully
/usr/local/mozilla/mozilla/run-mozilla.sh: line 72:   764 Segmentation fault   
  $prog ${1+"$@"}


Unfortunately, I don't have a debugger installed, and I probably wouldn't
understand much of the output anyway.  Sorry.

But I hope this helps.

Really strange url. I try it with IE 5.5 on NT and IE prompt a dialog and 
suggest to debug application. If I load this url using NS 4.72 on NT browser 
crashed and I get a feedback form. 
NS 4.7x on Linux and Solaris load this applet correctly and I can url by this 
applet. Neo any exception to console. Of course, NS4.7x using internal java 
jdk1.1.5.  
But if I load this url using Mozilla 0.9.3 on Linux with jre plugin 1.3.1 
(Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.3+) Gecko/20010827) applet works 
fine and I can load anither url's from this site using this applet. 
Also I loaded it using Mozilla 0.9.3 on NT with jre plugin 1.3.0_02(Mozilla/5.0 
(Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:0.9.3+) Gecko/20010820) and applet also works 
fine.
If I using mozilla on Linux and NT after this applet loaded, I try to close 
Mozilla using FIle->Quit and have an following exception to java console:


java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.lang.RuntimePermission 
modifyThread)

IMHO : Looks like this applet is invalid, but it works with Mozilla on Linux.

Ressign to Joe Chou, as I am no longer working officially on OJI.

Reporter, can you please point to another testcase for this bug. Otherwise this 
bug should be closed as invalid.

Doing the following seems to take care of mozillla 0.9.5 crashing on links to
java applets (thanks to manly):

$ ulimit -s 2048
$ LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5
$ export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL
