Comment 1 Ben Li 2003-08-18 09:09:30 UTC 
The bug does not happen always, there a small mistake in bug
description above, :-)

And this bug is not related to accessibility.
Comment 2 Gerardo Marin 2003-08-19 17:55:53 UTC 
Can you get a backtrace when this happens?
Comment 3 Ben Li 2003-08-21 02:28:37 UTC 
No, I can't get the backtrace.
Comment 4 Ben Li 2003-08-26 04:03:02 UTC 
This bug can be reproduced in Redhat9 with gnome2.4
Comment 5 Ben Li 2003-08-26 04:04:10 UTC 
When evolution got frozen, it said:


(evolution:4038): evolution-mail-WARNING **: Cannot activate
OAFIID:GNOME_Spell_Dictionary:0.3
 
** (evolution:4038): CRITICAL **: file utils.c: line 100
(html_utils_get_accessible): assertion `o != NULL' failed
Comment 6 Gerardo Marin 2003-08-26 19:06:55 UTC 
If you can reproduce this, at freeze
1. Dig out evolution pid (ps -feax | grep evolution)
2. Start gdb in a terminal window
3. At gdb prompt write attach [evolution_pid from 1]
4. After libraries/symbols are loaded,at gdb prompt type: where
5. Paste output to this report.

Otherwise we can't pintpoint the problem.
Comment 7 Gerardo Marin 2003-11-17 20:40:38 UTC 
Closed due to lack of response. Presumed fixed.  Please reopen if
otherwise.
