Is this easy to reproduce? I've walked away for hours at a time without problems. If this happens again, can you toggle your online/offline switch int he lower right hand corner and see if it fixes the problem? I have this same problem all the time. It sometimes happens though after little time left undisturbed and seems to be happening more frequently (although perhaps I am just being mental). It also seems to be associated with bug #89431 - I fix it by closing all windows, but mozilla won't restart without killing a stray process. I will try toggling the online button next time it happens. For whatever it's worth, I've had this bug happen to me on several occasions on multiple machines. It just happened on my machine. My problem normally only happens after several days of running Mozilla. I close all the windows, and try starting up a new mozilla I then see this process, and it appears to just hang for a while: /usr/lib/mozilla-1.2.1/mozilla-xremote-client ping() This process runs, and hangs. I believe it returns with an exit code of 3. The only way to resolve the problem is to kill the main mozilla session: kbohling 2517 0.6 12.5 107036 32040 ? S Aug26 10:25 /usr/lib/mozilla-1.2.1/mozilla-bin -UILocale en-US It's a stock RH9 install, with all of the patches applied to get me current. I will try going offline, and coming back online. I'll see if I can attach with strace to the running process to see what it's haning on. I don't believe I've got a Java JVM, or any other additional plugins besides the default (Plugger 4.0). I never had this problem with a stock 1.4 Mozilla install on RedHat 7.2. I'll try doing a stock install of Mozilla 1.4 in my home directory on this machine and see if it hangs like this or not. If there is anything additional I can do, like send the operation sig11, or sig2 to generate a core and use GDB to see if I can get a backtrace I'll be happy to try that. I tried toggling the offline-online switch and it didnt help. #0 0xffffe002 in ??

I can't seem to past the frame it's currently in. I can get a complete list of libraries it's loaded (it's a really long list). The odd part is that as soon as I attach to it in GDB and continue it then resolves the name and continues working. So it's like it's missed an event or signal, and the signal never gets run a second time. I forget what this is called, but it's a classic multi-threaded programming bug. At least it's got those symptoms. This is the output of PS for the only binary that had mozilla in the name: kbohling 4555 0.4 15.0 122376 38324 ? S Aug29 27:24 /usr/lib/mozilla-1.2.1/mozilla-bin -UILocale en-US Is this still an issue? I used to see this kind of behavior back then, but no longer with modern software. Closing CURRENTRELEASE. Open a new bug if you see this behavior again. I haven't seen this problem for a long time. I think it disappeared after upgrading from RH9 to FC1. I just tried following my own instructions on how to reproduce this problem https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=89431#c16, using those steps I was not able to reproduce it on FC3. BTW I'm almost sure the problem was not in mozilla, but rather in glibc or the kernel. Someone should verify if the problem exists in RHEL. If neither FC nor RHEL is affected, then closing it was the right thing to do. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225 Description of problem: After some time on inactivity of the browser. It doesn't resolv names of the solicited URL's. For example you browse for a while, leave the browser open and go to lunch (about an hour); when you come back to keep on browsing it can't resolv any name. It's peculiar because it doesn't give a timeout.. It simply keeps looking forever. The machine and DNS are ok, because you can open le same pages you are looking for through lynx o konquerer Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.2.1-26 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Open Mozilla 2.Go to lunch o leave it alone for a while min. 30 minutes 3.try o open a new page Actual Results: It doesn't do anything Expected Results: Open the requested URL Additional info:
