Build: Mac May 18 Seamonkey build (1999-05-18-08-M6) installed on PPC 8500/180 OS 8.5.1. Problem: Mac build crashes on start up. It crashes on commercial and mozilla builds. I removed my Moz registry before starting Seamonkey. Note: Paulmac in browser team is also crashing on a clean install on both builts too. He is running a PPC 200mhz on OS 8.5.1. Talkback tracking ids are ERK38HPO and ERK39ZUD.

fyi, As a test, I tried starting Mail through the command line feature(dragging a text file containing text string "ARGS: -mail"). It crashes at start up.

it's crashing in reg.c at nr_Unlock because the file handle in the reg variable is null. calling PR_Sync on this at the start of the unlock dies trying to deref it. why is the file handle null?

well, calling nr_CloseFile clears out the file handle. You can't call nr_CloseFile and then call nr_Unlock after it because NSPR assumes the file handle is still valid in the call to XP_FileFlush().

In the May 18 Mac build (1999-05-18-12-m6) you don't crash any more on start up. This bug looks fixed.

adding dp and rjc to cc list

The code that triggers profile manager code at the start up is if defed to ZERO in the current builds. So, the bug must getting triggered from some other component. Is this bug still exists ? Who is the rightful owner ?

In todays Mac respin May 18 (199905-18-12-M6) this problem has been resolved. I no longer crash on start up.

marking resolved and verified

Moving all Profile Manager bugs to new Profile Manager Backend component. Profile Manager component to be deleted.
