78184 - Browser crashes when editor's browse button is used

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 59497

(Core :: DOM: Editor, defect)

Description

[Guy Rixon]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [en] (X11; U; SunOS 5.8 sun4u)
BuildID:    2001041910

The browse button in the composer misbehaves 50% of the time (sample of four
tries) and crashes the browser and the composer.

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. View existing, local, HTML document in browser
2. Edit said document in Composer; save changes.
3. Push the browse button in the composer.
4. Wait ~10s; push browse button again

Actual Results:  When browse button is first pressed, browser window clears, but
does not show the document; the "watch" cursor shows in the browser.  When the
button is pressed again, the browser halts for ~5s and then dumps core.  This
has happened twice in four attempts.  In the other two tries, the browser
displayed the document on the first push of the button and did not crash.

Expected Results:  The document should be displayed with ~1s of the first
button-press.

In the two crashes I've seen, one was a SEGV and the other was an "Illegal
instruction" error.

I have the core file from each crash but cannot show you the stack trace as our
debugger is too broken to read the files.
