[BJ Homer]

Visiting http://cs.byu.edu/courses/current with the latest nightly build crashes the entire browser.  Error log points to a JavaScript error.

Can you please attach a crash log?  See <http://webkit.org/quality/crashlogs.html> for details about how to get a crash log.

The assertion failure looks sorta similar to that on bug 20626.

[Cameron Zwarich (cpst)]

I'll assign this to myself, since I can't work on bug 20626.

Partial reduction

Here is a reduction of the bug. It loads 3 JS libraries and runs one command. Now it's time to pick apart the libraries.

Further reduction

I can't seem to reduce it much further than this. This bug is very sensitive to the number of properties added to objects, even if they are never actually used. I have been able to replace some useless functions with blank bodies, but removing useless code from the bodies of functions that are actually called can cause the problem to go away.

CodeBlock dump

Here is a CodeBlock dump of the crash. The crash occurs at instruction 216, which is the lookup of setArray in the jQuery constructor. The actual property seems to be the right value, but the fast offset lookup returns 0.

[Cameron Zwarich (cpst)]

This is a strange crash. When the lookup is optimized to become get_by_id_proto, the slot holds the correct value. However, it is zero'd out some time before the lookup is made. I'll try to figure out what is clearing it. There is nothing in the JS code that is supposed to write to it, at least as far as I can tell.

[Cameron Zwarich (cpst)]

The problem occurs in PropertyMap::rehash(). After the only rehash of a PropertyMap table with newTableSize 512, the value with offset 281 is zeroed out. Before the rehash, it is the correct value.

Confirming that errant behavior as exhibited on Sears site is no longer present in current nightly (4 Sep 08).

Fixed, many thanks.
