I am testing signing function of Netscape Navigator - crypto.signText(). My application has to run on Windows 3.1 ( PC, Pentium 166 MMX, 64 MB RAM ) and I have met some serious problems. When I try to open this testing page <html> <head> <script> var foo = crypto.signText("Bill of Sale\n--------------------", "ask"); </script> </head> <body> This is an HTML page<p> <script> document.write(foo); </script> </body> </html> browser reaction is following: - Netscape Navigator 4.04. ( WinNT ) .... everything is O.K. - Netscape Navigator 4.04. ( Win 3.1) .... browser crashes with GPF - Netscape Navigator 4.07. ( Win 3.1) .... appears EMPTY window, that refuses to be closed and that is all.

Reassigning this to Jeff Weinstein, at Norris' recommendation. Thanks for the excellent bug report - it's a luxury to get such succinct testcase.

Old bug...marking Verified
Javacsript component begin retired. Moving this bug to Javascript Engine.
This is one of 2 bugs with Windows 3.1 as the OS. Setting to Other so I can nuke that value from the database and stop it from cluttering the menus.
