Description Stefan Brunosson 2006-08-28 13:31:23 UTC
Steps to reproduce:
Steps to reproduce the crash:
1. Normal startup of evolution

Expected Results:
No crash during startup.

How often does this happen?
7 out of 10 times.

Additional Information:
Also problems with evolution shell losing connection with the exchange
back-end and consuming ~100% CPU upon startup. Will file additional
bug.

Thanks for the bug report. Unfortunately, that stack trace is not very useful in determining the cause of the crash. Can you get us one with debugging symbols? Please see http://live.gnome.org/GettingTraces for more information on how to do so.
Comment 2 Stefan Brunosson 2006-09-09 17:50:04 UTC
New stack trace with evolution (and components) compiled with: 
CFLAGS="-march=pentium-m -O1 -g"
FEATURES="nostrip"

Hope it's more helpful.

Comment 3 André Klapper 2008-11-15 21:45:17 UTC
Does this still happen with 2.22 or 2.24?
If not, it's probably OBSOLETE.
Comment 4 Stefan Brunosson 2008-11-16 10:16:06 UTC
Indeed; this is a old bug and have vanished with newer versions of evolution. I'm marking it as obsolete.
