88389 - Browser hangs on attempt to view www.docent.com (uses all CPU).

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[David De Graff]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:0.9.1+) Gecko/20010627
BuildID:    2001062704

Browser displays most of page http://www.docent.com/ except for a large image in
middle of page and what seems to be a flash animation in middle right (viewed
this OK in IE). Browser hangs after page partially displayed, and checking task
manager shows that browser is using 96-99% of CPU.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Attempt to load http://www.docent.com
2. See the problem.

Actual Results:  Page is partially displayed, then browser hangs while using
96-99% of CPU. Hang seems to be indefinite.

Expected Results:  Normal page display.

I do not have any Java plug-in installed, although the page (viewed in IE) does
not seem to use Java.

In any case, the browser should not suck up the entire CPU and hang even if Java
is required and the Java plug-in is not installed. It should display what it can
and ignore the rest or gracefully report an error.

This took up most of the cpu for 2-3 seconds on 2001062909/Linux and then there
was some pretty heavy network activity after the page had, apparently, finished
rendering. Nothing particularly horrible though...

Build 2001062909/Linux
kernel 2.4.3-20mdk
cpu: PIII 500

The page loaded fine, and I didn't experience any unusual CPU utilisation hit.
Might be NT4 specific ?

CPU: AMD 900

I've installed the Mozilla 0.9.2 release (build 2001062815) and have reproduced
the problem with this build on NT 4.0 SP6. I let the browser try to load the
page for nearly two minutes, and the CPU remained pegged at 97-99% utlization.
This time everything on the page loaded OK except the Flash piece under 'Global
Strategic Integrators'.

Can someone else with NT4 check this?

WORKSFORME, build 2007070808, NT 4.00.1381.  No unusual behavior (all images
appear, flash animation works).

[David De Graff]

It now works for me on NT 4 SP6 (original bug report setup) using build 2001071604.

Looks like this one can be closed!
