Hah, looks like it no longer crashes when sending NNTP messages.

Strange. There were NNTP-related fixes in some of the previous minor
updates, but these didn't fix the problem for me. I don't see any NNTP
bugfixes in the latest (102.3.3) release notes... yet it works meow. Hmm

Louis, can you confirm? (if you still have TB installed for emails)

Hey, that sounds hopeful!

I'm still holding station at 91.11.0 (64-bit) on Mint 20.2

Thunderbird 102.3.3 (64-bit), Windows 10 21H2 here.

But yea, better wait a bit longer. At least until somebody else confirms
this as fixed. :)

It's more inconvenient to have TB fold up like a cheap suit when trying
to post to a newsgroup. At least we can findt out how it's going...

Seamonkey has poorer handling of images with it's mail app.

Yeah, perhaps alt.test would have been a better place for this. But I'd
be posting my results here anyway, since I know that some CSIPH members
are interested in knowing what the situation with TB 102 is.

Well, if anyone finds this thread distracting, then I apologize.
Hopefully my other contributions offset this "inconvenience".

Hi Thomas

been using Thunderbird for years and years ATM 10.4.0
never had any issues

Debian on a ACER Veriton/I7 with 8GB RAM

most of the tiume through SSH X session

would help maybe to give details of your setup, as it could be hardware
related issue at your end. example RAM

Hi, It's not a hardware issue. I was able to replicate it on two
different and otherwise perfectly stable machines. Louis also reported
having the same problem.

The crash only occurs when sending an NNTP message from one of the 102
builds. The application is stable aside from that - it never even once
crashed when sending a classic email over SMTP. The 91 branch doesn't
have the same problem (I have now reverted to the latest 91 build).

Why it worked a few sometimes and then started crashing again? Idk, but behavior like that is typical for buffer overflows and similar problems.

I have posted this before, but for completeness' sake, here is some info
about my setup:

Thunderbird 102.3.3, 102.4.2, and other 64-bit Windows builds from the
102 range. Windows 10 21H2 64-bit, version 10.0.19044.2130.

I'm using exactly the same settings for 91 and 102. It happens even with
all extensions disabled. And with both Kev's CSIPH server and Eternal September. And both when starting a new thread
or replying to an existing message.

It may be Windows-exclusive, but I saw a similar report on the Debian or
ubuntu mailing list.

I'm not a fan of the Bugzilla bug tracker but looks like I'll have to
shift through it and create a ticket manually. The submitted crash dumps
went seemingly nowhere. I'm not complaining, they are probably busy with
more important bugs... since TB is primarily an email client rather than
a news reader.

can you change server to aioe.org

AFAIR no need for user name or password

and try again

I'm not gonna update to 102 again just to test this, but I intend to do
a clean install on one of my other machines... so I'll test it there.

Hi Tomas,

Good question!

I'll check the changelogs and give the 102 branch another try this
weekend...

No hurry, TB 91 still works (on Linux anyway).

Referring to Moussa's hint: aioe.org is down. Has been for a while already. No idea why or what happened there. Used it for years without problems and very little downtime.

Took a big step: jumped from 91.11.0 to 115.10.1 (64-bit, Linux)
So far no issues.

Not really fond of the new look and feel, but maybe I can tweak it a bit font-wise.
