proposing stop-ship for osx.

Comment 2

[Simon Fraser [no longer active]]

I've seen this too on X. I think fixing bug 97866 may fix this.

Comment 3

[sairuh (rarely reading bugmail)]

pink mentioned this me last week --however, i've yet to encounter this
particular trace when i crash on quit on mac os x. could it possibly be limited
to non-verification builds?

If this is a stop ship, please have your manager nominate it by marking it
nsbranch+.

Comment 5

[Steve Dagley]

methinks the nsbranch+ and nsenterprise+ keywords were inadvereantly demoted to 
nsbranch and nsenterprise so I changed them back

Comment 6

[Brian Nesse (gone)]

Assuming that sfraser is right about bug 97866, and I have little doubt that he
is because preferences can't really control crashes in closing files, shouldn't
some of this keyword lovin' move that way??

Comment 7

[Jaime Rodriguez, Jr.]

staus pls ...

Comment 8

[grega]

marking nsenterprise- to get off the enterprise stop ship list.

Comment 9

[selmer (gone)]

Who has tested this against the patch in 97866?  That bug is already PDT+, if it
fixes this bug then we're done right?

Comment 10

[Brian Nesse (gone)]

As far as I know pinkerton is the only one who has reproduced this. I'm not
seeing it on the trunk, which has sfraser's patch, but that's no guarantee of
success. Mike, are you still seeing this?

Comment 11

[Jaime Rodriguez, Jr.]

Pink - If you are no longer seeing this, let's get it off the radar by removing
the OSX+ from Status Whiteboard.

Comment 12

[Brian Nesse (gone)]

In lieu of any information to the contrary I am duping this to bug 97866 to get
it off of PDT's radar. Pink or Simon, if you see this re-occur, please re-open.
