ABORT: OOM: file /builds/slave/rel-c-beta-lnx-bld/build/mozilla/xpcom/string/src/nsTSubstring.cpp, line 533 ) seamokney appears to be constantly open() or stat64() adblockplus "patterns.ini" files according to strace Expected results: none of that stuff, especially not the crashing.
This appears to affect FireFox 18/Win7 also.

May be related to Bug 837845
> Added subscription to "Easylist" Appears that the simple act of installing ABP automatically adds a subscription. (That must be somewhat new? In the past you always had to actually do it yourself or at least on prompt to install one.) > cpu usage goes to 100% Confirmed. (Actually I suppose it will be 100% of 1 core.) > appears to affect FireFox 18/Win7 also I'm not seeing FF 18 being affected (XP)? Could you confirm? > Bug 837845 - Multi-GB memory spike when using regular expressions That bug says "status-firefox18: unaffected" which (you would think) would also mean that SeaMonkey 2.15 would also be unaffected. Yet this bug certainly does affect SeaMonkey 2.15. Note that after this (CPU jump) starts, if you Disable ABP, it stops immediately, but if ABP is disabled initially, you'll need to refresh the openforum.com page for it to start. adblock_plus-2.0.2-sm+tb+fx+fn.xpi does not cause this issue. adblock_plus-2.1-an+sm+fx+tb-linux.xpi & versions later do cause this issue.
I'm not seeing FF being affected, 18 or otherwise? Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:21.0) Gecko/20130206 Firefox/21.0
SeaMonkey 2.14.1 is not affected.

> adblock_plus-2.0.2-sm+tb+fx+fn.xpi does not cause this issue. I'm wrong on that, it does. 2.0.2 is not restartless (which I didn't realize at the time) & when I installed it, it "appeared" to install (correctly) & not cause an issue. Rechecking, removing later versions of ABP first, then installing 2.0.2 & restarting, the issue does manifest itself. (Also disabling ABP 2.0.2 does not cause CPU usage to subside like it does with the restartless versions. You must disable, then Quit, then restart.)
> Bug 837845 - Multi-GB memory spike when using regular expressions SeaMonkey 2.15.2 is not affected. SeaMonkey 2.17a2 (Aurora) is affected so this bug is different from 837845.
Not a regression range, but closer then earlier. (Is that apples to apples? One -central, a1, one -aurora, a2?)
