Comment 1 Alexander Sack 2008-11-17 07:33:55 UTC

crash happens because of folder=0x0 ... reason for that is not OOM, but
the user sees the following assertions on console before crash happens:

(evolution:17980): camel-WARNING **: camel_type_register: 'CamelExchangeFolder' has smaller class size than parent 'CamelOfflineFolder'

hence creating exchange folder fails and folder becomes 0x0

======== ...

(evolution:17980): camel-WARNING **: camel_exception_get_id called with NULL parameter.

(evolution:17980): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_hash_table_foreach: assertion `hash_table != NULL' failed

(evolution:17980): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_hash_table_lookup: assertion `hash_table != NULL' failed

(evolution:17980): camel-WARNING **: camel_type_register: 'CamelExchangeFolder' has smaller class size than parent 'CamelOfflineFolder'

Comment 2 Alexander Sack 2008-11-17 07:35:31 UTC

Not sure how that can happen. Sounds a bit like the exchange plugin wasn't rebuild against latest CamelOfflineFolderClass

You've right, the only possibility I can think of is that the evolution-exchange hadn't built against the version of evolution-data-server user was using. That's nothing one can do about in Evolution's code.

Pedro, please tell downstream. I'm closing this.

Comment 4 Pedro Villavicencio 2008-12-10 16:54:48 UTC

I'll do it, thanks Milan and Alexander.
