Description James Slater 2000-08-11 13:50:00 UTC
This happens in both netscape 4.7.4 and 4.7.2. Installed rather than
upgraded to 7.0 beta. Imported an address book previously created on redhat
6.0. Import works fine. However, name recognition doesn't work when an
email address is typed in the To: field and, opening up the address book &
double clicking kills the app. strace shows:

2928  gettimeofday({966001144, 472011}, NULL) = 0
2928  gettimeofday({966001144, 472115}, NULL) = 0
2928  rt_sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, NULL, [], 8) = 0
2928  gettimeofday({966001144, 472352}, NULL) = 0
2928  rt_sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, [], NULL, 8) = 0
2928  gettimeofday({966001144, 472596}, NULL) = 0
2928  ioctl(8, FIONREAD, [64])          = 0
2928  read(8,
"\f\3676|`\r\0\2\0\0\10\0D\0*\0\0\0\0\0*\0D\0\230\367\377"..., 64) = 64
2928  write(8,
"8\1\4\0P\r\0\2\4\0\0\0\377\377\377\0F\0\5\0N\r\0\2P\r\0"..., 532) = 532
2928  --- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) ---
2928  getpid()                          = 2928
2928  kill(2928, SIGBUS)                = 0
2928  --- SIGBUS (Bus error) ---

Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2000-08-11 13:56:55 UTC
What does 'grep locale ~/.netscape/*.js' say?

Comment 2 James Slater 2000-08-11 14:01:13 UTC
.netscape/liprefs.js:user_pref("ldap_2.servers.pab.locale", "en_US");
.netscape/preferences.js:user_pref("ldap_2.servers.pab.locale", "en_US");


Comment 3 Bill Nottingham 2000-08-11 14:07:03 UTC
Remove those lines; they were added by a previous (4.7, IIRC)
buggy netscape.

Copied back *.js files from backup, no more crashes.

Cheers,

James.
