Hi everyone! To my dismay, I have realized that the stack traces for
automated crash reports cannot be trusted for the purposes of marking
issues as duplicates or fixed by a more recent PR. This is not to say
that the stacks are incorrect in any way, merely that the panic reported
is not guaranteed to be the first panic that occurred. This means that a
stack like the one in https://github.com/servo/servo/issues/12183 may
appear to be solved by the changes in
https://github.com/servo/servo/pull/12030, but that reported panic only
occurred because some other thread panicked first.
Unfortunately, this means that the triage process is less
straightforward than we might otherwise hope. Please avoid the
temptation to close issues referring to unwrapping error values from
sending or receiving over channels without reproducing the issue
yourself - these always indicate a deeper problem that requires
investigation first.
Cheers,
Josh
