Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Core Graveyard :: Profile: BackEnd, defect)

Description

[Grace Bush]

steps to reproduce:
seen on both branch and trunk (win and linux so far)
1. ./netscape -createprofile foo (netscp6 -createprofile foo)
2. launch and test
3. run profile manager and choose to delete foo

actual results:  after creation ./mozilla/foo/foo/44533.slt is created on linux
                             c:\winnt\~~~\profiles\foo\foo\3234.slt is created 
                              on windows
   after deletion the directories /foo/44533.slt (\foo\3234.slt) are removed
leaving the topmost foo directory in place.

This is not a new bug. It is not a problem with profile deletion but of profile
creation. See bug 56587. See how it's creating ./mozilla/foo/foo/44533.slt. The
extra foo is causing the problem. Bug 56587 is reviewed and awaiting sr. Because
the problem is creation and not deletion and because this will be fixed shortly
by that, marking invalid.
