I compiled apprunner from the CVS (dated Thu Mar 4 1999), but when I ran it I got a SIGSEV. Here is the stack dump info I got from gdb. I compiled with gcc. Core was generated by `./apprunner'.

Resolved as duplicate of bug #3792. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 3792 ***

Marking Verified as a dup.

I do not think this bug is a duplicate of 3792. In fact, I have run into this same error even after 3792 was fixed in the CVS. Please check this bug again. I could be wrong, but I do not think it is the same bug as 3792.

Re-assigned to slamm@netscape.com, set target milestone to M4, and changed priority to P1. Steve, do you have a Solaris build? If not, can you check whether Chris McAfee has some time to look at this?

I have a Solaris build now. I built today with gcc 2.7.2.3 with the native linker. I don't see a crash. dejong, do you have a way to reproduce this bug? I see you selected a menu item, I don't know what you selected.

I doubt this is an M4 stopper. Moving to M5 while waiting for more data.

I would love to try new builds but it seems like the CVS tree is always broken. I am not trying to rip on anyone, but it really important that the CVS at least build. How can anyone ever hope to test things out when mozilla does not build? Also, is this really something that you need to use the menu to reproduce. Why not just call NS_ScriptErrorReporter from a small main function and see if that dumps core?

I can not test to see if this bug has been fixed until bug 5823 is fixed. 5823 describes the crash on startup of apprunner I get from the most recent build of apprunner.

Cannot track down this bug until crash on startup is fixed (bug #5661).

OK, we're gonna have to wait until mcafee actually fixes the Solaris crash on startup problem before we can even start to fix this. Moving to M6 for now ...

I just built the tree today (Mon May 10) on my Solaris box and I did not see the crash. I am not really sure this is fixed as I do not know what menu combo or race condition created it in the first place but at least it seems to work.

This works for me too. Marking WORKSFORME.

Chris -- we cannot verify this, someone in dev or the reporter will need to do that

Ok, I am marking this a VERIFIED. I have run CVS builds on Solaris a number of times and I have not seen this error. If I see it again you can be sure you will hear from me. Thanks.

Apprunner component being deleted/retired at end of week. Moving all Apprunner bugs past and present to another appropriate component. Browser-General component has been created as the new "catch-all" component.
