thunderbird-bin crashed with SIGSEGV in PL_DHashTableOperate()

[Sergey]

Binary package hint: thunderbird

I've closed Thunderbird while leaving Firefox open, and then used Firefox's File->Send Link function to send two email messages with links to pages. The crash occurred when the second email was being sent.

Summary: Thunderbird crashes trying to complete sending a message initiated by Firefox's Send Link menu item.

Steps to reproduce:
  1. Close Thunderbird, make sure there are no Thunderbird processes running;
  2. Open (or switch to an open instance of) Firefox;
  3. Go to any site, select File->Send Link;
  4. Thunderbird will start and new email message window will appear;
  5. Go to a different site (or tab) in Firefox, select File->Send Link again.

Expected Result: new message windows are usable and email messages in them can be sent successfully.

Actual Result: Thunderbird process crashes.

With those instructions I was able to reproduce the bug, but in current versions I can't (latest Firefox 3.0.4, Thunderbird 2.0.0.17 and just upgraded 2.0.0.18, Ubuntu 8.10 as of 2008-11-26) everything works. It's not a problem anymore, thank you!

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

[Sergey (hvmptydvmpty)]

No, this seems to have been fixed.
