Description David Turvene 2004-11-15 19:33:51 UTC

Description of Problem:
Evo 1.4.6 on Fedora FC2 linux 2.6.8-1.521

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Create a message
2. Hit Send/Receive to drain Outbox
3. 

Actual Results:
Evo crashes (see GDB trace below).  Upon restart,
hitting send/receive always causes the message in
Outbox to be transmitted.  My guess: it's crashing
trying to do a strlen() on a null string.

Expected Results:
Mail is sent

How often does this happen? 
About 50% of the time.

Additional Information:
1) I had repartitioned some of my disk to free up
space.  I moved my /home area to a new partition.

2) strace showed little.  Based upon it, I deleted
my /tmp/orbit-<user> files and rebooted.
