80998 - Mozilla hangs on a page and has to be killed

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Matp75]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.4.2-2 i686; en-US; rv:0.9+) Gecko/20010515
BuildID:    2001051508

go to http://www.loftstory.fr, click on ENTREE (ie come in).
the page somehow loads, usually the frame in the middle, some button may appear
at the left and the rest doesn't download at all(or isn't displayed ?)
Then the only solution is to killall mozilla-bin as nothing works (no menu, no
refresh,no scrollbar...)
when mozilla is stuck, nothing happens : cpu is at zero, there's no network
activity.

Reproducible: Always

Note : this site is about a French tv show very popular and it may be sometimes
a little overloaded (but even in this case, it shouldn't hang mozilla) 
Note2: I'm behind a transparent proxy (my isp forces this)

Comment 6

[Asa Dotzler [:asa]]

hmm, cannot reproduce the crash now.  Will try again later.  

araman, it would be extremely helpful if you could download a linux installer
build and do a full install which includes talkback.  if talkback catches the
crash please post an incidentID to this bug. thanks.

I've tried this several more times with today's build (051608) with and without
java installed and I am unable to reproduce a hang or crash.

Comment 8

I installed a seamonkey build (2001051708) and tried with and without java and
it no longer hangs (but it doesn't load the top frame)

Marking WFM as per Asa's as araman's comments.

Using 2001062104 Win2k, it doesn't hang for me either.
