balsa-2.4.2 crash when entering address in new mail (GPE backend)
Last modified: 2010-01-12 01:07:42 UTC
When trying to enter e-mail address to the new mail, balsa crashes. Distribution: Angstrom, OpenEmbedded unstable build Platform: arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi Backtrace seems to indicate invalid free() in GPE backend:
+ Trace 220014
Created attachment 151202 [details] [review] libbalsa-gpe-corruption.patch Possible fix. It seems to fix the crash.
Thanks for the report! Indeed, <url:http://www.sqlite.org/c3ref/exec.html> states quite clearly that the error string should be freed with sqlite3_free(). I guess free() was OK for a while, but we keep getting more careful about memory management :) Resolving as FIXED... Peter
