Comment 1 bucky 2007-06-21 18:32:21 UTC
One thing that might be useful that I don't see in this auto-generated bug buddy report is this message on stdout:

*** glibc detected *** evolution: free(): invalid pointer: 0xb4b05ca0 ***
Comment 2 bucky 2007-06-25 22:53:59 UTC
Tried to solve my own problem by deleting the .evolution directory and letting it rebuild from IMAP and Exchange Connector sources. Frequent random crashing does not stop.

Got this from the STDOUT this time while reading a message (I did not send the BugBuddy report since I have this bug open--the STDOUT stuff was also missing):

(evolution:10344): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_file_system_unix_get_parent: assertion `g_path_is_absolute (filename)' failed

I will turn of the new mail notification plug-in, since it hasn't done anything that I've been able to detect, anyway.  Maybe that's it?
Comment 3 Tobias Mueller 2007-08-18 14:05:00 UTC
Interesting workaround.

Anyway the stacktrace looks like a dup of 431459. But since the stacktrace shows other elements which might cause the crash, I am not marking it as a dup.

The stacktrace is also missing debugging symbols. Could you please install debug packages for evolution, evolution-exchange, evolution-data-server and ORBit?

TIA

This is bug #447591, which is fixed now.
