Description Raphael Hertzog 2005-12-13 19:11:50 UTC 
Distribution: Ubuntu 5.10 (breezy)
Package: Evolution
Severity: Normal
Version: GNOME2.12.1 2.4.x
Gnome-Distributor: Ubuntu
Synopsis: Crashes when sending mail (storing local copy)
Bugzilla-Product: Evolution
Bugzilla-Component: Mailer
Bugzilla-Version: 2.4.x
BugBuddy-GnomeVersion: 2.0 (2.12.0)
Description:
Description of the crash:
Sometimes when I send a mail, evolution crashes. The mail is
successfully sent however the local copy that should be stored in
old/outbox (in my Maildir tree) is not written.

How often does this happen?
No precise idea. 2 out of 10 ?

Additional Information:
I'm using evolution from Ubuntu Breezy (2.4.1). All plugins are
apparently enabled by default.

it starts again"
Comment 2 parthasarathi susarla 2005-12-14 16:16:05 UTC 
The partition table is borked. How many messages do you have in the folder??
Were the files manunally edited??
Comment 3 Sebastien Bacher 2005-12-14 16:29:02 UTC 
comment from the bug submitter:

"2500 mails and no manual edit, just a crash while evolution was trying to write
on it ... (probably)"
Comment 4 Jeffrey Stedfast 2005-12-14 17:09:25 UTC 
From what I know, Zucchi's CamelPartitionTable and CamelIndex stuff is all based
on the design explained in the document: 

http://primates.ximian.com/~fejj/doc/idealhashtrees.pdf
Comment 5 Raphael Hertzog 2005-12-18 13:48:55 UTC 
Yet another similar backtrace :
http://pastebin.com/468929

And again, moving away old/outbox.ibex* files solved the crash on startup. Evolution corrupts itself the files when randomly crashing. The "Maildir" camel code certainly needs a bit of love ...

I'm running evolution ig gdb almost permanently now. I hope to be able to provide a back trace of a crash that corrupts the files ... but it's not so easy to reproduce. The last time it happened, gdb stalled strangely with :
ptrace: Aucun processus de ce type.
thread_db_get_info: cannot get thread info: generic error

And then I couldn't get a backtrace even though evolution was no more working (more precisely, the part that displays the mail content stopped updating itself and changing to another message didn't change anything). After that "force stop" (quit in gdb), the files were corrupted ...
Comment 6 Raphael Hertzog 2005-12-18 17:46:11 UTC

          2005-12-18 20:14:27 UTC
        



This time after a crash, evolution decided to reindex one of my folder and crashed during that processing. Also some messages were marked as new when they weren't before ... and trying to display a message marked new lead to an error (displayed in the content pane).

Here's the backtrace :
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Finally I think I managed to get a backtrace of the first crash that usually leads to corrupted "*ibex*" files which themselves lead to further crash... this crash happened right after sending a new message (a reply in fact). The "1134998490.20521_1.rivendell:2,S" id corresponds to the message that I just sent.

camel-ERROR **: file camel-partition-table.c: line 877 (camel_key_table_lookup): assertion failed: (index < kb->used)
aborting...

Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted.

Created attachment 92690 [details] [review]
proposed eds patch

for evolution-data-server;

I'm not sure if this patch will solve whole bug (probably not), but from other duplicates I see here a problem when creating new index file and it isn't created successfully (see camel_text_index_new when returning NULL), then sync may do nothing in this cases from camel_text_index_finalise, because it could cause a crash.
