79323 - gecko seems to hang trying to load the image, but shows the null image for a second

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Graphics: ImageLib, defect)

Description

[Owen Landgren]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:0.9) Gecko/20010505
BuildID:    2001050515

I discovered this bug in the following manner -- I went to
www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/style/comics/ and clicked on the Liberty Meadows
link. This brought me to the page
http://www.contentblocks.com/client/washpost/lib.asp?client=6
Now, what was odd about this page is that while it was loading, the placeholder
popped up for the comic image. However, a second later it disappeared, and the
page would hang Gecko, forcing me to press stop or back to leave the page.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/style/comics
2. Click on the link labeled Liberty Meadows
3. Watch Gecko attempt to load the image and fail

Actual Results:  Gecko would hang trying to load the image.

Expected Results:  Loaded the page and displayed the image correctly, so I can
get my Liberty Meadows fix for the day.

The image loads fine for me, without hanging, with the 2001051908 nightly on 
win2k. Owen: could you please download a newer nightly & try to reproduce this 
bug?

Sorry -- I won't be able to do that for another week or so -- I lost my 
high-bandwidth access and can no longer get the nightlies. I should have 
high-bandwidth access by June 5th, at which point I'll be able to check if it's 
fixed...
