Has anyone else noticed that if a mail fetch initiates while NetSurf
is rendering a page, then NS exits with a fatal error?
Before submitting a report, it would be interesting to know whether
anyone else has experienced this.
It has done it several times here over the past few weeks(?), but has
taken me a while to realise the connection. I have now tried fetching
a web page and then forcing a mail fetch - it gives the error
sometimes - it may depend on exactly where NS has reached in the
rendering when the mail fetch starts and whether the page to be
rendered is already in the cache or not.
Forcing a news/rss fetch while NS was rendering a page caused NetSurf
to just vanish from the iconbar, with no error message. The pages
used for the test were ROOL pages.
I did these tests with r13071, but the errors have also occurred with
earlier releases. Machine is an Iyonix with RISC OS 5.17. Mail/news
software is Netfetch with Hermes and NewsHound.
