92133 - crash when reading newsgroups

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(MailNews Core :: Networking: NNTP, defect)

Description

[S A Jarrett-Sprague]

I am trying to download headers from comp python newsgroup. Mozilla 0.9.2 says 
I have allready got 4000+ headers. It tries to download and crashes out of 
mozilla. I think the problem is due to the size of the postings as other 
smaller newsgroups are ok

We need a stacktrace or talkback id for this bug to be of any use.

Reporter, please try a nightly build (ftp.mozilla.org) and if possible, one that
includes Talkback.  If you still crash with a new profile, please mention the
build ID here.  Thanks.

This worksforme using build 2001-08-15-08.  I received all 5758 messags, the 1st
time getting 500 at first, reading a few, then receiving the rest later.  The
2nd time, I downloaded them all at once.  RedHat 7.1 using Gnome.  Verified
WORKSFORME.   If you see this again, re-open and if possible, provide a talkback
 ID # so I can get the stack trace and see where this is crashing.  Thanks.
