Description Sebastien Bacher 2005-08-26 13:54:55 UTC

That happens with evolution 2.3.8/evolution-data-server 1.3.8 and a fresh made
account with the default options. It hangs when clicking on "edit" from the
preferences with the account selected:

(gdb) thread apply all bt

Comment 1 Sebastien Bacher 2005-08-26 13:57:53 UTC

when selecting "Server Type: None" from the "Receiving Email" tab evo hangs with
a "*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0xb6b98240 ***" on stdout

Comment 2 Not Zed 2005-08-29 04:37:06 UTC

this is probably the vsnprintf bug, try upgrading eds from cvs.

Comment 3 Sebastien Bacher 2005-09-12 09:16:00 UTC

it's fixed with GNOME 2.12

Comment 4 C Shilpa 2005-09-12 11:27:44 UTC

verified using evolution-2.4.0.

Comment 5 Sebastien Bacher 2005-12-02 13:02:40 UTC
