Description Patrick O'Callaghan 2010-06-15 18:24:38 UTC
Description of problem:
On opening http://select.nytimes.com/premium/xword/puzzles.html with the Chromium browser, I get this message: "The following plug-in has crashed: /usr/lib/java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0.86_64/jre/lib/amd64/IcedTeaPlugin.so"

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin-1.6.0.0-39.b18.fc13.x86_64
chromium-4.0.305.0-0.1.20100122svn36865.fc12.x86_64

How reproducible:

2.Crash occurs immediately
3.
  
Actual results:
Crash in Java plugin

Expected results:
Functioning Java plugin

Additional info:
/var/log/messages shows:

Jun 15 13:49:28 bree kernel: chromium-browse[6405]: segfault at fffffffffffff610 ip 0000003a75c7585c sp 00007fff31363860 error 4 in libc-2.12.so[3a75c00000+175000]

The register values in the message are exactly the same each time.

Also, it's noteworthy that the crash occurs on simply opening the page. It's not necessary to click on any of the Java-powered links it contains, but clicking on these also produces the message.

The same crash occurs when visiting java.com and clicking on the Verify Java Version button on http://java.com/en/download/installed.jsp

Comment 2 Patrick O'Callaghan 2010-06-16 05:36:50 UTC
The latest update to Java (1:java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin-1.6.0.0-41.b18.fc13.x86_64) appears to fix this bug. Both test pages now open correctly.
