Comment 1 Chenthill P 2006-03-10 06:35:04 UTC

What is the timezone being used ?

Comment 2 rob 2006-03-12 22:58:14 UTC

Time zone: Australia/Sydney

Problem now only occurs when I go back to the days in question (Monday & Tuesday of the week before last).

This means that the bug is likely being triggered by bad events for one of those days - where can I get this to provide it?

Comment 3 Poornima 2006-05-06 07:11:26 UTC

If debug rpms of evolution is installed and then try out this scenario you can make out if any events is causing this crash. Update this bug with those stack traces

Comment 4 André Klapper 2006-07-11 00:14:14 UTC

Poornima: Not this way.

Comment 5 André Klapper 2006-07-11 00:15:13 UTC
