Galeon crashes when trying to copy a large chunk of text from clipboard

Package: galeon Severity: major Version: 1.0.2 Synopsis: Galeon crashes when trying to copy a large chunk of text from clipboard Bugzilla-Product: galeon Bugzilla-Component: Mozilla interaction Description: Go to a web page with ~100K of ASCII text. Highlight it. Open the text editor of your choice (xemacs in this case) and try to paste the highlighted text (middle mouse button technique). Result: galeon dumps core. The same thing happens if you try to use the "copy" and "paste" menu options. Also, when trying to print this page, it only sends the first page of data over to either the printer or the print preview application. The same thing happens in Mozilla, so I suspect that it's a gecko problem. Note that the web page in question is almost nothing but text. There is, I believe, one small table at the top, but not much else in the way of frills. Unfortunately, I can't send a pointer to the page because it's not accessible to the general public.

------- Bug moved to this database by unknown@bugzilla.gnome.org 2002-01-09 09:36 ------- Unknown version 1.0.x in product galeon. Setting version to the default, "unspecified". The original reporter (nelsoncc@hap.arnold.af.mil) of this bug does not have an account here. Reassigning to the exporter, unknown@bugzilla.gnome.org. Reassigning to the default owner of the component, philipl@mail.utexas.edu.
This is almost certainly a gecko problem, since Mozilla (0.9.7) shows the same behavior.
