Overview: While trying to verify another bug, I was attempting to view a certificate by clicking on the 'View' button, and the app crashed. Steps to reproduce: 1) Launch MacOS_X 2001-08-14-05-trunk (commercial) 2) Follow the path Edit:Preferences:Privacy and Security:Certificates and click on the [Manage Certificates] button 3) In the Certificate Manager window, select any available cert and click the [View] button Actual Results: App crashes Expected Results: View the cert Platforms tested: - MacOS91 2001-08-14-04-trunk (commercial) - MacOS_X 2001-08-14-05-trunk (commercial) - LinRH62 2001-08-14-07-trunk (commercial) - Win09SE 2001-08-14-06-trunk (commercial) Additional Info: This crash only happens on MacOS_X - I can view the certs on other platforms just fine.

Did we get an update on this before Javi left on sabbatical?
Steve, Here's what Javi had to say on 8/20 before he left: I've got the Mac development environments going and have come to the conclusion that fixing a Mac OS X bug (that doesn't also occur in Mac OS 9) is almost impossible due to the fact that you can not run the builds under a debugger. Gathering actual run-time info is impossible except for true Mac experts. Where does this leave us? Steve Dagley has offered to help out with Mac specific PSM issues during my sabbatical and he also knows there are PSM bugs that are Mac OS X specific (he's cc'ed on the bugs). The team will have to rely on his help to resolve any Mac OS X issues that arise during my sabbatical (Unless someone else wants to figure out debugging on Mac OS X.) In the short term, this means I will not be able to close my P1 bugs that are Mac OS X specific (Bugs 89281 and 95404) before I leave on sabbatical (barring some miraculous break through by MacDev allowing developers to properly debug on Mac OS X by say tomorrow).

ssaux@netscape.com: Do you have another engineer who can fix this bug?
Stephane, Is there someone in the security group that can look at this? I can help someone try and debug but I have other fish to fry so to speak and can't work on this full time right now.
Javi is the best resource I have for this bug and he found it "nearly impossible" to fix. It's unlikely that if I assign somebody else to work on it, the bug will get fixed during the 0.9.4 branch lifetime. Bring it up to a PDT meeting.
Is there at least a QA resource that can be assigned to get more info since ckritzer is no longer a Netscape employee?
Let me get back to you (tomorrow). cc ddrinan.
--> Lord for reassignment.

We do not understand how to debug Mac OSX. Javier tried and failed. I asked David Drinan give a call to sdagley to see how they can work together to get this issue resolved.

Marking fixed on Trunk, still crashes on 9/19 branch. Adding vbranch keyword.

Is this still happening on the branch? Is this a must fix for the 0.9.4 branch?
The fix is not on the branch. Today's build crashes. Aren't crashers "must fix"?
If it's not on the branch then it probably shouldn't be marked fixed. David Drinan's understanding is that sdagley would investigate why it's not happening on the trunk and try to identify and apply the fix that solved the problem. Reopening. vbranch is not a good way to keep it on the radar.

The thought was this bug is a dupe of <http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ show_bug.cgi?id=96160> which is why I asked if the trunk worked. Now that it has been verified that it does, this bug can be closed as a dupe.
