Description jpremkumar 2005-09-15 05:38:56 UTC

Distribution/Version: SuSe 10

I encountered a Evolution crash when trying to perform 'checkrow' and
'uncheckrow' alternatively (or in a random manner) using LDTP. I have
attached the trace as well as the steps for reproducing the problem. If
you have any queries please let me know so that I can do the needful.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
+ update pyldtp from CVS and compile and install it.
+ start evolution-2.4 and select the inbox folder
+ move to the folder where you have the evolution.map file
+ invoke a python prompt and issue the following commands in succession
        from ldtp import *
        initappmap ('evolution.map')
        checkrow ('evolution', 'ttblMessageList', 0)
        uncheckrow ('evolution', 'ttblMessageList', 0)  
        checkrow ('evolution', 'ttblMessageList', 0)
        uncheckrow ('evolution', 'ttblMessageList', 0)  
+ please note that it is a random crash so the order and number of times
'checkrow' and 'uncheckrow' called might vary

After the above steps evolution crashes. I have attached the trace that
I got in my box. If am not clear anywhere please let me know so that I
will make it clear.
