void __cdecl __crtExitProcess (
        int status
        )
{
        __crtCorExitProcess(status);

        /*
         * Either mscoree.dll isn't loaded,
         * or CorExitProcess isn't exported from mscoree.dll,
         * or CorExitProcess returned (should never happen).
         * Just call ExitProcess.

ally:

Are you able to reproduce this with a checkout from before the Australis merges? (a checkout of beddd6d4bcdf should take you just before the merge).

updated to m-c's beddd6d4bcdf; had to apply patch from bug 939557 so it would build successfully.

Hit the same issue.

Hello Allison,

I know this bug is ancient but are you still experiencing this problem with the newest build of Firefox 43.0 or Nightly 46.0a1?

Thank you,

Justin

I am afraid I no longer have that computer or that os on any other devices, so I'm unable to check for you. 

I'd WFM this unless there is a more recent report.
