From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.19pre15-raid-kdb-ext3-nic i586)
BuildID:    2001051408

If you travel to a site that uses HTTP authentication and enter an invalid
password mozilla segfaults.  If a correct password is entered, it works just
fine.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Put in the URL of a page requiring HTTP authentication
2. Purposely mistype your username or password
3. Watch it segv

Actual Results:  Segmentation Violation, Core-dumped Blues

Expected Results:  Poped up an error dialog.

Works for me on 2001060508 for linux.  I note that it does not say 'bad login',
just prompts me again.  This is a design issue, not necessarily a bug.

It won't display the error page HTML that your server sends until you hit cancel.

That's consistent with communicator 4.
