*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 216652 *** I'm reopening this bug, I have good reasons to believe it is NOT a duplicate of bug 216652. taking bug Bug 216652 comment 8 up to bug 216652 comment 19 have some more thinking on this bug, but I will summarize the final information here. At the end of february 2007, we shipped a new NSPR package version 4.6.5. It included an upstream patch to clean up thread local storage on application exit. That patch was required to fix an issue around broken smart card login. Martin correctly identified that Mozilla tries to do some cleanup on its own. Because NSPR now does, too, that cleanup function gets called twice. I discussed this problem with Wan-Teh Chang, who initially wrote the NSPR patch. I'll attach a patch that will work in both cases, whether or not that NSPR patch is applied (Official Mozilla 1.8 branch does not yet use it). This will prepare upstream for a time when it upgrades to newer NSPR, too. The disadvantage of that solution, until the patch gets accepted upstream, we'll have to rebuild all mozilla based applications, like Firefox, SeaMonkey, Epiphany, Thunderbird. I've attached the proposed fix to upstream bug 379550. Both patches work for me, so we can pick one and use it. firefox-1.5.0.10-6.fc6 has been pushed for fc6, which should resolve this issue. If these problems are still present in this version, then please make note of it in this bug report. Epiphany works fine after upgrade to firefox-1.5.0.10-6.fc6 :) this bug is there in F7 devel (installed from 05/23/2007 tree). I think its this bug based on comment #4 but i'll attach some info to be sure. Created attachment 155281 [details]
epiphany backtrace + strace (a bit)
I still get this bug in FC6, despite the fact that others have had some luck with FC6 after firefox-1.5.0.10-6.fc6. I can post stack traces with debug info for FC6 if it would be helpful. okay, please attach the stack trace. Sorry for the long delay. I found that if I uninstalled epiphany-extensions my problems went away. Keep in mind I really like some of those extensions, like Quick Search and Ad Blocker, but I really, really like a browser that doesn't barf every time it closes. looks like a dup of bug 232378 *** Bug 232378 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I produced updated NSPR packages that should show up soon in the updates-testing channel for FC6 and F7: nspr-4.6.7-0.7.1.fc7 and nspr-4.6.7-0.6.1.fc6 If you are able to reproduce the crash, I would like to encourage you to install the updates-testing package and report in this bug whether it fixes the crash. Thanks in advance for your help. nspr-4.6.7-0.7.1.fc7 has been pushed to the Fedora 7 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. I installed the testing nspr, reinstalled epiphany-extensions, and then enabled all of the extensions I have ever used. I have yet to see it crash once, and I have tried many times. Considering that on my systems the crash was completely predictable, I think this bug is conquered. Thank you (and everyone else involved) so much. nspr-4.6.7-0.7.1.fc7 has been pushed to the Fedora 7 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. |
