*** Bug 327503 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 2 Chenthill P 2006-02-09 14:15:23 UTC

The reason for this crash is, some how the ecal->priv->mutex is locked still. So trying to free it in e_cal_finalize causes a crash in glib. Working on to fix it.

Comment 3 Poornima 2006-05-05 04:06:14 UTC

This is not reproducible after srini modified alarm deamon code.
Anyone else is still observing this crash in evolution 2.6.1 can reopen this bug.
