Comments
EVALUATION Seems it's not a bug of Java. But it's very strange that mozilla only crash when open java applet. Actually sometime Mozilla crash at create a new object. And the call stack is different sometime. Continue investigating... ###@###.### 2004-07-22 ============================================================================= Is there another box of Cinnabar14 for Solaris x86 where this problem is reproduceable? We may want to reproduce problem on another system, to make sure problem is not system specific. ###@###.### 2004-07-22 ###@###.### 2004-07-30 reopening this bug, the problem is intermittent, but it is reporducible on cinnabar15 sol10_63x86 - see commments Comment from ###@###.### I don't think this is a Java related bug. I can reproduce the crash 2 out of 10 times. But each time the browser crash, it does not generate any hotspot error log, but a core file. So I would like to reassign this to Mozilla team. ###@###.### 2004-08-02 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ###@###.### 2004-08-09 I'm resetting this bug to stopper, P1. This bug will happen on average one in every five users. I can recreate this bug 2 out of 10 attempts (similar results to xiaobin's). This is very frequent, it needs to be fixed. removing stopper - ok for beta release ###@###.### 2004-08-09 ======================================================================================= After some investigation, I found the root cause of this bug is in java plugin module, because: 1) Mozilla only crashes when visiting the webpages contain applet; 2) Once mozilla keeps crashing, remove $HOME/.java directory will stop the crashing (both Robert and I confirmed); 3) I have my two own builds of jre1.5 (http://jogging.prc/download/), one is built on top of July 20th source, another is built from Aug 4th source. I did not change anything in the source for both builds. Robert and I are no longer able to recreate this bug using these two builds. So, there should be something wrong in the jre build on Solaris x86. My build's platform is: SunOS 5.10 s10_63 i86pc i386 compilers are: cc: Sun C 5.5 Patch 112761-06 2004/01/13 CC: Sun C++ 5.5 Patch 113819-06 2004/01/29 ###@###.### 2004-08-11 I tried the latest JRE build 1.5 (b63) and tested all the applets in java.sun.com/applets and several other applets in our SQE site. I launched Mozilla 10 -15 times and I didn't see any crash so far. Unix Java Plug-in didn't change anything between b56 and b63, so the crash we noticed earlier may result from bugs in other Java modules which may have been fixed in b63. So please retest with b63. ###@###.### 2004-08-12 verified that this bug is not reproducible on cinnabar_16 solaris10_63 Attempted to create crash 15 times on two differnet systems which had previously exhibited the error on cinnabar_15 sol10_63. closing bug as not repoducible ###@###.### 2004-08-13
