Comment 2 Matthew Woehlke 2009-06-26 15:38:54 UTC
I have the same stack trace. With libical debug info:

  • #0 strlen
    from /lib64/libc.so.6
  • #1 strdup
    from /lib64/libc.so.6
  • #2 icalparameter_set_cn
    at icalderivedparameter.c line 728
  • #3 icalparameter_new_cn
    at icalderivedparameter.c line 706
  • #4 ical_attendees_from_props
    at exchange-mapi-cal-utils.c line 507
  • #5 exchange_mapi_cal_util_mapi_props_to_comp
    at exchange-mapi-cal-utils.c line 801

I notice that the parameter to icalparameter_new_cn is bogus but non-null, however gdb claims that 'str' in ical_attendees_from_props is a perfectly valid pointer to an empty string.

I'm posting here because I believe this is NOT a duplicate of bug 580706. The stack trace is different, it dies in a different part of exchange_mapi_cal_util_mapi_props_to_comp, and it's dying trying to dereference a *bad* but *non-NULL* pointer. Bug 580706 deals with a botched assert and a suggestion to flip libical's 'errors are fatal' switch off, which seems unlikely to help here.
