Created by Michael Gordon (mfg@ee.ed.ac.uk) on Wednesday, May 13, 1998 6:15:17 AM PDT Additional Details : There's a segmentation fault in strlen() at line 4915 of cmd/xfe/mozilla.c if the previous getcwd() fails. Is setting 'string' to '.' if getcwd() fails acceptable?

I put an assert in here for now, yeah there's a segfault possibility. Do you have a case where this happens so I can test this? Sorry it took so long for me to get to this bug.
[from mfg] Just do mkdir /tmp/foo mkdir /tmp/foo/foo2 chmod 111 /tmp/foo cd /tmp/foo/foo2 moz-export I discovered this when other people tried to run the mozilla binary I'd compiled under my home directory, which is mode 711. I don't know how likely it is that this bug would be triggered in normal use.
