75612 - Message crashes mozilla

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Christos Cheretakis]

Attached message always crashes new builds of mozilla.
This is the configuration:
- Cyrus-IMAP Server
- Linux/2001041108

Mozilla seems to load the message (at least based on its status line).
It tries to display it, but crashes before showing anything.

Older builds used to display it, although they were very slow scrolling down.

The message is a page from the w3c website with the changes annotated by websec.

Reporter please attach the message so we can figure out if it crashes for anyone
else?

Comment 2

Sorry... Twice.

Sorry, i forgot to attach the file.

Sorry, 'cause now that I opened the file I don't think it can be of any use! I
used an earlier build of mozilla for windows to save it and i just found out
it's plain text...

I'll attach it anyways...

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.4.2 i586; en-US; rv:0.9+) Gecko/20010508

Well the plain text version that's attached works fine with this build.

As I said, the attached file is not actually the original message, it's all I
had left from the original message. The problem occures in a "diffs-annotated"
version of http://www.w3.org/TR/ done by websec. As soon as I gen a new mail,
I'll check and report back.

Christos, if I save
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/showattachment.cgi?attach_id=31743 as foo.eml and
load it, I don't crash.

that message looks pretty benign.  is that the right one?  did you save it as
plain text, instead of the original rfc/822?  did the original message have
images?

No this ain't the right message. The one you've seen is the old one I have
attached.

I tried to attach the new file, but bugzilla refused to accept anything from my
current build of mozilla.

Also tried with ns4.77, but got several times a connection time-out.

Will try again!

I tried the later attachment and used builds 2001-05-23
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/showattachment.cgi?attach_id=34613, saved as foo.eml 
and loaded it, I don't crash.  Verifying as worksforme, reporter if you still 
have the message and can get a build after 5-15 please try it again and reopen 
this if it still crashes.
