Comment 1 Akhil Laddha 2007-07-02 13:52:12 UTC

My mistake , i was using evolution with group wise.
Sorry for inconvenience.

Comment 2 André Klapper 2007-07-02 22:14:51 UTC

for future reference, crashers are "critical".

Comment 3 Karsten Bräckelmann 2007-07-03 15:50:24 UTC

Also, both e-book.c and e-passwords.c are e-d-s...

Comment 4 Akhil Laddha 2008-04-11 06:30:44 UTC

Evolution 2.23.1
I clicked on 'New' to open a composer window, password window popped up for 'Frequent contact' address book, evolution crashed as soon as i entered password.

Comment 6 Akhil Laddha 2008-04-14 05:35:55 UTC

Some functions' value during crash

(gdb) p message_queue
$26 = {head = 0x8f3a880, tail = 0x8f3a880, length = 1}
(gdb) p iter
$27 = (GList *) 0x8e92880
(gdb) p *iter
$28 = {data = 0x0, next = 0x0, prev = 0x0}
(gdb) p message_queue->head
$29 = (GList *) 0x8f3a880
(gdb) p message_queue->head->data
$30 = (gpointer) 0x8e558c0
(gdb) p *message_queue->head
$31 = {data = 0x8e558c0, next = 0x0, prev = 0x0}

Comment 7 Srinivasa Ragavan 2008-04-14 05:38:48 UTC

I debugged in Akhil's machine. Seems like the iter that comes our of message_queue is corrupted.

Matt any thoughts?

Comment 8 Matthew Barnes 2008-04-14 14:10:59 UTC

This is a dupe of another bug for which I can't recall the number, because I remember looking into this before.

The problem seems to occur when password prompt requests pile up, such as after forgetting all passwords and restarting Evolution.  Last I looked, I couldn't figure out how a NULL pointer could be getting in the message_queue.  It looks like it uses locks in all the right places, and I couldn't get GDB to catch it inserting a NULL anywhere.

I'll give it another shot, though.  Maybe there's still a race somewhere.

Created attachment 109243 [details] [review]
My mistake

Okay, so, I'm an idiot.  I went ahead just committed the fix.

Comment 10 Matthew Barnes 2008-04-14 14:43:00 UTC

Off-Topic:

I notice the crash recovery dialog keeps stepping on the password dialog at startup.  Perhaps we need some sort of centralized queue that serializes all dialogs in Evolution and E-D-S.
