Comment 1 Michael Simms 2002-10-19 01:01:19 UTC

Further testing found:

I tried to open E again and the same thing happened.

After the crash I opened E again, tried to reproduce a third time, and
this time it froze whilst switching to the calendar. I had to kill the
process

The next time I try to open E, it freezes on the splash screen. It is
hanging on attempting to do something with the calendar.

strace gives: select(15, [8 11 12 13 14], NULL, [8 11 12 13 14], NULL

gdb on evolution-calendar gives
(gdb) where

The only way for E to now boot is for me to kill the calendar process {:-(

This is the version of E that comes with RedHat 8. Gnome is the
desktop, Enlightenment WM, not that that should matter but just in
case. Linux Kernel 2.4.18
