Comment 1 André Klapper 2007-03-17 19:51:32 UTC
Thanks for taking the time to report this bug.
Unfortunately, that stack trace is missing some elements that will help a lot to solve the problem, so it will be hard for the developers to fix that crash. Could you please install some debugging packages [1], start the application as normal, and reproduce the crash, if possible?

Once bug-buddy pops up, you can find the stacktrace in the Details, now containing way more information. Please copy that stacktrace and paste it as a comment here. Thanks in advance!

[1] debugging packages for evolution, evolution-data-server, gtkhtml, gtk, glib, gnome-vfs, libgnome and libgnomeui (as far as those packages are provided by your distribution). More details can be found here: http://live.gnome.org/GettingTraces
Comment 2 Steven Coco 2007-03-19 16:12:57 UTC
Hi.

Evo crashed on me hard again. The dupfinder does not say that trace matches this one, and the circumstances are different, so I filed a new report. But since it's on my same machine perhaps it is still useful information. That is Bug 420162.

I have since installed tons more debug packages -- I searched in the package manager for "dbg" and installed every one that would install without requiring other dependencies: I installed dozens of packages. So maybe there is some good trace info in there.

As I said in that report, System Manager again reports 3GB of virtual memory for Evolution. It is definitely leaking memory/swap very consistently -- seemingly always when I use it. And I do use it all the time. I just have to quit it frequently to prevent these crashes; and I tend to have to compose longer messages with the text editor since Evo usually crashes by the time I'm done.

Thanks!

Bug Buddy Output From Evolution Crash While Quitting

Evo crashed again on me while quitting. Though the dupfinder says this trace matches Bug #339369 and I did attach the traces there, it's the same circumstances as this bug, and on this same machine, so it seems related.

Here's the traces: I have installed dozens of debug packages since the last report.

Thanks!
