Bug 201988

Application that crashed: konqueror
Version of the application: 4.2.98 (KDE 4.2.98 (KDE 4.3 RC3))
KDE Version: 4.2.98 (KDE 4.2.98 (KDE 4.3 RC3))
Qt Version: 4.5.0
Operating System: Linux 2.6.28-14-generic x86_64
Distribution: Ubuntu 9.04

What I was doing when the application crashed:
Went to a website as the first page straight after loading konqueror.

Server detected error with request and set back a response which gives a popup, the text was "ID does not exist.  Returning to Previous screen".

The response is not the responsibility of konqueror, but the text suggests that the javascript would invoke the back in your history functionality of the browser.  I'm not sure if that's permitted, but since I hadn't gone to any other pages, perhaps there's a bug in the "back" functionality if there is nothing to go back to.

Using wireshark to capture the TCP conversation with the server, then looking at the HTML response I see the following javascript:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
        alert("ID does not exist.  Returning to Previous screen.");
        history.back();

//-->
        </SCRIPT>

When I click OK on the popup, konqueror crashes.  This may be due to bugs invoking history.back() when there is no history to rewind.

I did some further testing, loaded konqueror, went to some pages to populate the history list.  Then went to the problem web site.  Got the popup again, but still saw the crash.  Therefore whether the history list is empty or not does not seem to be the problem here.

Hope the stack trace gives you more clues.
