Description aepalea 2008-11-13 08:06:02 UTC
Description of problem:

Fedora Core 10 Preview installer crashes when entering a URL to an FTP location with password.  

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

How reproducible:

Four times in a row.  

Steps to Reproduce:
1. English / US / URL / config network / URL Setup
2. type ftp://username@server/pub (will fail, but crash anyway) 

Actual results:

kernel crash "install exited abnormally" with backtrace: 

SIGSEGV! 
...
libc.so
convertUItoURL 
...

Expected results:

That it would crash later on when I typed my ftp password, which contains characters that choke OpenBSD.  

Additional info:

I was initially using a valid URL of the form: 

ftp://username@server/pub/.../netboot.iso 

This crashes without the error first. 

(My patience for picking the component out of 200 entries displayed in a five line gun turret is extremely limited.)

Not a bug with the 0xFFFF package; closing. Please reopen against correct package if you wish this to be dealt with.
