Description Steve Fox 2007-01-22 20:36:20 UTC

Steps to reproduce:
1. Unfortunately I can only reproduce it by leaving Evolution running and waiting for the calendar to die, which happens about once a day while I'm not even actively using Evolution.

Other information:
I have installed just about every relevant debuginfo package I can think of to generate a usable stack trace. Please let me know if I missed anything.

Comment 1 Mart Raudsepp 2007-01-26 18:32:41 UTC

Here's a similar or identical backtrace I got. I believe I was looking at a memo instead though. The crash was either after closing a memo dialog or slightly after that during scrolling or component changing.
(Nothing relevant in .xsession-errors, just "checking for junk..?" spam from before [why does that spam into xsession-errors anyway?])
