Description B S Srinidhi 2007-11-22 14:27:09 UTC

Was sending a mail when evolution crashed. It crashes everytime I try to send an email:

(evolution:6813): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_base64_encode: assertion `data != NULL' failed

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

for evolution-data-server;

Say something like this? I'm not sure how much reasonable it is. BTW, what is that file "if3.reg" for?

Comment 2 Srinivasa Ragavan 2008-01-22 16:35:34 UTC

Looks fine. That is a attachment I guess.

Comment 3 Milan Crha 2008-01-22 19:27:59 UTC

Committed to trunk. Committed revision 8404.

Yes, it is, the strange thing about it is that it has no content buffer, which seems strange to me, if it's a regular file. Anyway, committed.
