crash while downloading mail
Last modified: 2002-08-16 19:33:00 UTC
Package: Evolution Priority: Normal Version: 1.0.4.99 Synopsis: crash while downloading mail Bugzilla-Product: Evolution Bugzilla-Component: Mailer Description: Evo bottoms out while I'm trying to download my mail. It always crashes on the same message. If I manually delete this message from my mailserver, it's only a matter of time before I receive another message that produces the same result. Debugging Information: [New Thread 1024 (LWP 434)] [New Thread 2049 (LWP 456)] [New Thread 1026 (LWP 457)] [New Thread 2051 (LWP 459)] [New Thread 3076 (LWP 462)] [New Thread 5125 (LWP 471)] 0x40f22e29 in __wait4 () from /lib/libc.so.6
+ Trace 21323
Thread 5 (Thread 3076 (LWP 462))
Anything usefull within the trace? Can you attach a copy of the offending message, please?
Created attachment 41172 [details] Offending message
If I click on "close" rather than "submit bug report" when evolution crashes, I don't get a core dump -- so I don't know how to do a trace. If you can provide me with more specific instructions, I'd be glad to help out more.
argh, stupid bugzilla. ok, so I had closed this as fixed because it works fine in cvs HEAD (aka development branch).
Just some more info (Gerado please note). Anything crashing in ibex_*() like this involves code that no longer exists in the 1.1.x development branch _at all_. As such, we are closing these bugs as fixed. We haven't as yet decided to backport the 1.1.x code to 1.0.x, and as it involves about 3-4 thousand lines of entirely new code we are unlikely to. The workaround that usually works in the stable (1.0.x) branch is to delete the '*.ibex' files in the evolution local tree, stored under ~/evolution/local. In some cases this isn't sufficient, an offending mail just has to be moved away from evolution some other way (another mail client, etc). Might be nice to close them as duplicates of this or some other bug (there are a lot of them), incase its such a big problem it needs to be fixed (but on average it seems that it isn't common enough to warrant it). Maybe even a 'known bugs' issue, if we have anywhere to put such things.
