Description Sebastien Vasey 2008-06-19 08:29:57 UTC
When running firefox 3, removing the existing URL and entering something in the address bar, firefox segfaults apparently because of some false assertion in sqlite's code:

$ firefox
firefox: ./src/vdbemem.c:255: sqlite3VdbeMemFinalize: Assertion `0==(pMem->flags&0x0040) && !pMem->xDel' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)

I have no problem when browsing the web or doing other tasks inside firefox. I have tried rebuilding and reinstalling firefox without success.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run firefox
2. Remove the existing address in the URL bar
3. Input some random string

Actual Results:  
Program segfaults

Expected Results:

Comment 3 Carsten Lohrke (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-06-19 15:12:48 UTC
Please don't play with the severity. FF 3 is just a few hours in testing and this would be just a major bug, if it were stable.
Comment 4 indarios 2008-06-19 17:21:27 UTC
Im getting this same error, but i cant type anything into the address bar without it crashing, unless its in the middle of a address then it seems not to crash.

firefox: ./src/vdbemem.c:255: sqlite3VdbeMemFinalize: Assertion `0==(pMem->flags&0x0040) && !pMem->xDel' failed.

Comment 5 Marcin Gryszkalis 2008-06-20 08:45:35 UTC
I have the same effect though in different source line:

firefox: sqlite3.c:37482: sqlite3VdbeMemFinalize: Assertion `0==(pMem->flags&0x0040) && !pMem->xDel' failed.
Comment 6 Raúl Porcel (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-06-20 09:04:21 UTC
Fixed in xulrunner-1.9-r2 and mozilla-firefox-3.0-r1.
Comment 7 Rafał Mużyło 2008-06-20 10:08:15 UTC
Any idea what did cause that problem,
cause I can't reproduce it.
dev-db/sqlite-3.5.6 USE="doc soundex tcl threadsafe -debug"
Comment 8 Rafał Mużyło 2008-06-20 10:27:29 UTC
Same with:
dev-db/sqlite-3.5.6 USE="doc soundex tcl threadsafe -debug"
I get a feeling, that 'threadsafe' is the requirement.
Comment 9 Rafał Mużyło 2008-06-20 10:46:44 UTC
The last comment was about dev-db/sqlite-3.5.9 and no simply switching that use flag is not enough to trigger the crash.
However, I still think it's a threading issue. Maybe during build of xulrunner/firefox a check is done for thread safety of sqlite and if it fails,
some other code is used, that triggers those crashes ?
