Description Pedro Villavicencio 2009-10-15 14:50:56 UTC 
this report has been filed here:

https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/451239

"After the upgrade to Ubuntu Karmic, Evolution started crashing really frequently.

I cannot find out the real problem: I do not remember anything particular I was doing every time when it crashed (sometimes I am only receiving new messages, sometimes I am sending a message, sometimes it crashes when open without user input).

For this particular crash, here is what I did:

1. open Evolution
2. view some mails
3. click on send/receive

what happens: the send/receive window opens, and Evolution becomes grey (unresponsive) before crashing

The trace is probably incomplete, as I do not see there the call to
g_markup_escape_text

anyway, it seems to be inside of the evolution-rss plugin, thus moving to the proper component. If I recall correctly the function requires valid UTF-8 strings, and if they are not, then it crashes the application.

This problem has been fixed in the development version.
