76881 - crash when address book is opened

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Address Book & Contacts, defect)

Description

[John Deighan]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.2.16-22 i686; en-US; rv:0.8.1+)
Gecko/20010419
BuildID:    2001041921

Mozilla will crash if:
1. I try to autocomplete an address
2. I try to open the address book from the menu: Tasks/Address Book


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. start a new email
2. type in a partial address to force autocomplete
3. watch Mozilla mysteriously disappear

OR

1. mouse to Tasks/Address Book on the menu bar
2. watch Mozilla mysteriously disappear

Actual Results:  All mozilla windows disappear.  No core file found

Expected Results:  shown the address book window


I do not "clean slate" my environment every time I download a new Mozilla. Since
there is no way to export an address book I'm kind of stuck.

Flash player plugin is installed, but Java is not.

Just checked this: Mozilla will crash if the Address Book hotkeys are pressed
(CTL-5)

works. my build is from today, ca. 5 hours old. OS: Linux

No core file found, either in my home directory or in the mozilla directory.

The following gets printed out:

/usr/local/mozilla/m20/mozilla/run-mozilla.sh: line 72: 3716 Segmentation falue
$prog $(1+$@}

No, I do not "clean out" my .mozilla directory from run to run.  I'm running Red
Hat 7.0.

I am able to bring up the address book under earlier versions of Mozilla (e.g. 8.0).

Any ideas?

If you can get a stacktrace from the crash that would really help.

I don't know if you guys are going to shoot me or not: I downloaded the latest
Mozilla today.  Address book comes up just fine.  No more crashes.  Mark this
one closed kids.
