Description of problem: firefox crashes when accessing http://ars.userfriendly.org/cartoons/?id=20051223 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): firefox-1.5-3 How reproducible: Always with the given page Steps to Reproduce: 1. firefox http://ars.userfriendly.org/cartoons/?id=20051223 2. 3. Actual results: Pango-ERROR **: file basic-fc.c: line 347 (basic_engine_shape): assertion failed: (face != NULL) aborting... Expected results: A cartoon ;-) Additional info: I have looked at several pages, but this is the only one up to here.
If I download the firefox-1.5 tar file, and run from a user sub-directory, I have no problems with pages I can't otherwise load. If I use the RPM, firefox-1.5-3, it exits with "Exit 133" and leaves a core file. I've seen the PANGO error once or twice, but not every time. Considering that I don't have this problem with the version from mozilla.org, this might be a compiler error (or libstdc++). Has this problem escalated just this week? It seems so to me.
Seeing crashes here too, on random pages, sometimes when trying to do stuff in Bugzilla. Will try to gather some debugging info and report back. May be related to bug #176639 (no idea, but saw it in Bugzilla, so it's worth keeping any eye on it). My language is set to en_AU.UTF-8.
Additional Info: Pentium-M notebook: 1.5-3 has no problems Pentium II notebook: core dumps Both systems are up-to-date wrt development.
The Pentium-II notebook was running firefox in safe-mode.
Forgot to mention, I'm running with SELinux enabled, if that's important (it was in bug #175275).
No idea what SIG33 means, but it nevertheless appear to have hung FF for me, when run with -g option (inside gdb). I have firefox-debuginfo loaded. Attachement will follow.
Created attachment 122669 [details] Backtrace of the "hung" firefox process No idea if the process is really hung of if it's just terribly slow. I'm compiling the kernel at the same time and kmalloc debugging is on, so it could be just very, very slow. Anyhow, I never noticed the SIG33 thingy before, so I'm reporting it here.
Does disabling selinux fix the issue? If so, does updating to selinux-policy-2.1.6-19 help?
I do not have selinux enabled and the problem occurs.
I do have SELinux disabled right now due to bug #176839, but I haven't used FF that extensively to be sure (i.e. it didn't crash yet). Crashes are intermittent on my system anyway, so it's a bit difficult to replicate...
Most definitely happens with SELinux disabled too. Just had a crash...
Now firefox-1.5-4, everything up to date as of today (20060105), no SELinux. Crashes reliably with the page I reported originally.
What processors are being used? I run reliably on a Pentium-M, but my Pentium II crashes on the same pages.
I've got a Pentium 4 based Celeron. I'm seeing intermittent crashes only.
firefox-1.5.0.1-2: Can't crash it in the same manner any more. Unrelated to this bug, but I can crash it with: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=325540
1.5.0.1-7 now, doesn't crash with the original page. The crash in #15 seems unrelated in any case. BTW, my CPU is a Pentium-M/1500. Should I close this now?
I haven't had a crash of FF in a long time as well.
The fix for #15 is scheduled for 1.5.0.2, which will be released some time in the next few weeks. This is unrelated to this bug though. The original bug was most likely a GCC compiler bug, as the binary from mozilla.org did not have this problem (#1). It most likely could have been fixed before 1.5.0.1's release, after one of the numerous GCC updates going on during that period. I say close it.
