Comment #15 on issue 15602 by [email protected]: Crash - net::ProxyConfigServiceWin::GetProxyConfig(net::ProxyConfig *) http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=15602
> This bug status is "Wontfix" although the crash is seen in multiple > release, not sure why. It is marked as WontFix because it is in code outside of our control. The crash happens in the Microsoft library function: WinHttpGetIEProxyConfigForCurrentUser() Since we are passing it valid parameters, we must assume that either there is a bug in WinHttpGetIEProxyConfigForCurrentUser(), or the users systems have modified this function making it buggy, or there is a generic heap corruption somewhere in Chrome that causes this function to sometimes crash. In either of these cases, the problem is not actionable. About the only thing we could do, is to stop using WinHttpGetIEProxyConfigForCurrentUser(). It might be possible to directly inspect registry settings and duplicate the logic of this function with our own implementation. However, given the relatively low frequency of this crash, I don't think such an approach is worthwhile (it risks breaking compatibility). If you are able to reproduce the crash on your system, please post the details and we can re-evaluate.
