Description Joe Shaw 2006-07-13 17:55:21 UTC 
The header for a summary in Evolution is defined in part as follows:

int32   version
int32   flags
int32   nextuid
time(*) time
int32   count

time is either 32- or 64-bits depending on the machine on which the summary is created.  Unfortunately, the size is never saved anywhere, so it is impossible to determine what the correct value actually is.

If you move your data between machines, e-d-s will crash on the data.  (This is also a problem in Beagle, where we parse the summaries by hand.)

Bumping version to a stable release.
Comment 2 André Klapper 2021-05-19 11:03:09 UTC 
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. 
As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled).

If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/Community/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new ticket at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution-data-server/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
