84247 - mozilla (sometimes) hangs with stacked dialogs

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 84250

(Core :: Networking: Cache, defect)

Description

[Dan M]

This bug is the bugzilla version of bugscape 4890. The problem (seems to be 
that) new cache objects are themselves caching their thread's event queue, and 
then hanging around forever, occasionally preventing event queues which want to 
be transient from properly deleting themselves when their time has come. This 
manifests itself as an application hang in the Netscape build. So far we've seen 
no symptoms in the Mozilla build.
  The patch I'll attach is r=beard sr=fraser a=pdt in the bugscape bug.
