Wayne: if you disable Symantec Endpoint Protection, can you load the page? Is this a regression in Nightly 31?

I excluded the cache directory from Norton scanning and the problem went away. > Is this a regression in Nightly 31? I have no data to say it is a regression or not. Nor have I checked any other builds or releases. If needed, I will do so Perhaps related to that ... my question is should firefox not crash if a cache file is unexpectedly missing?

if a cache file is unexpectedly missing, what should be expected behavior?

Summary: Symantec Endpoint Protection hang → hangs when cache file is deleted (by Symantec Endpoint Protection)
Expected behavior is to load the resource from the network, but right now there is a bug and such resource fails to load. Bug 913812 should fix this. Anyway, I don't understand what exactly happens in your case. Application really should not hang and I don't see any hang in the stack traces. In comment #5, you write something about crash, so I'm confused. Btw. did you turn on the new cache backend manually?
Depends on: 913812
I've reproduced it locally and the code asserts in mozilla::net::CacheFileChunk::BufForReading().

My mistake - replace all references to crash with the word "hang" > did you turn on the new cache backend manually? yes
Tracking for enable, hang seems serious.
Blocks: cache2enable
Wayne, any news here? We are soon going to enable by default. If this is no longer a problem or is just occasional I will close or postpone.
Flags: needinfo?(vseerror)
I'll give an update on Tuesday - I'll have to update my work PC and re-enable scanning, plus I'm not in work much the next few days.
I won't get to this til later in week

Wayne, I'll take the liberty to assign this to you to confirm the bug is there or is fixed. Thanks.

Honza, Michal, thanks for the fixes. Something changed such that symantec scan didn't delete cache files. But using current nightly I couldn't cause this by randomly and also massively deleting cache files. WFM
