Bug 45396 – fast/files/workers/worker-read-blob-async.html is flaky on Leopard

• Status: ASSIGNED

The diff appears to be a garbled string:
-Received loadstart event
+Receiv

Not sure why the description got truncated. Here's the full write-up:

The diff appears to be a garbled string:
-Received loadstart event
+Receiv

[Mihai Parparita]

The reason why the comment string kept getting truncated is because it had \0s in it. Here's comment with the \0s escaped:

The diff appears to be a garbled string:
-Received loadstart event
+Receiv\0\0\0\0oadstart event

Or:

-Received loadstart even
+\0\0\0\0ived loadstart event

This appears to have been happening for at least a couple of days (at least as of r66830).

+Jian since this test was added recently (r66461), so it was probably flaky from the start. The extra nulls in the strings are worrisome.

It seems that the message posted from worker thread to main thread is garbaged occasionally. I am looking into this.

Here is one build that had this error:
