is of importance here, as g_strndup() gets 186-195 as second argument.

Daniel, Can you please attach the email that causes this problem.
Comment 2 Daniel Holbach 2006-04-20 06:31:34 UTC 
Sorry, I think not. It was a mail I wrote and I copied over data from a wiki table, some of it was urls. It was a company mail and after crashing evolution 5 times, I wrote the mail's text in an editor. I know that's not perfectly helpful, but I 'needed to get it done'. 

gtkhtml was confused about where URLs started and where they ended, so lots of the text was depicted as blue underlined link. Maybe unrelated, but everytime I 'recovered the mail' by restarting evolution a <> was shown at one of the paragraphs.

Sorry if this is not what you expected - if I can help you somehow else, let me know.
Comment 3 André Klapper 2017-02-09 13:33:58 UTC 
GtkHtml is not under active development anymore. 
Evolution (its main consumer) switched to a WebKit backend a while ago. 
It is currently unlikely that there will be any further GtkHtml development.

Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping (bug 778387) to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this bug report in the future if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again.
