Description of problem: Thunderbird crashes if you close more than one compose window. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.5.0.12-9.el5_1 How reproducible: Every time for multiple users accross multiple machines. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start thunderbird. 2. Click on "Write" more than once to open more than one Compose window. 3. Close all Compose windows. Actual results: Thunderbird exits with a return code of 139. Expected results: Thunderbird not to exit. Additional info: I opened this issue with bug (432573). It was then incorrectly merged with bug (432702) and then both bugs were subsequently closed. The problem remains so I asked that the bug be re-opened, but got no response so I am filing a new bug. jonathan auerbach from noaa.gov correctly states that this issue exists with rhel4 as well as rhel5.
Created attachment 295851 [details] Backtrace from reproducing the bug Yup, can reproduce pretty regularily with thunderbird-1.5.0.12-9.el5_1 (reproduced fourt times out of four attempts).
I can confirm this as well on an i386 installation. I have also noticed that sometimes, immediately after an e-mail is sent, a similar crash occurs (as soon as the sending mail message window closes). The mail is copied to my send mail folder and, I suspect, has been successfully sent. This is on thunderbird-1.5.0.12-9.el5
Just an additional note that might help isolate the problem. The latest Thunderbird 2.0.0.9 (20071031) from Mozilla doesn't seem to suffer from this issue. However, on my system I am running: gtk2-2.10.13-1.fc6 gtk2-devel-2.10.13-1.fc6 gtk2-engines-2.8.0-3.el5 (switching to the 2.10.13-1.fc6 ones fixed a crash issue in firefox (bug 430140))
Cannot reproduce anymore with upgaded packages to the latest production RHN updates + these: nspr-4.7.0.99.1-1.el5.i386.rpm nss-3.11.99.4-1.el5.i386.rpm nss-debuginfo-3.11.99.4-1.el5.i386.rpm nss-tools-3.11.99.4-1.el5.i386.rpm thunderbird-2.0.0.12-1.el5.i386.rpm thunderbird-debuginfo-2.0.0.12-1.el5.i386.rpm
