Test Calendar file

The attached file causes the crash when received in an email.

  The file is parsed correctly when accessed through the File->Import menu.

Also crashes in Ubuntu Maverick (10.10) using evolution 2.30.1.2,
while opening a message with a text/calendar attachment (coming from outlook)

proposed evo 2.30.x patch

for evolution 2.30.x;

Thanks for a bug report. I cannot reproduce this myself, but it seems like the same workaround as in bug #612082 is needed for gnome-2-30 (note the actual master has it done this way already).

Could anyone of you give a try to this patch and report back whether it helps or not, please? Thanks in advance.

I have rebuilt the debian package with this patch included, and I have both good news and bad news:

  The good news is that I do not get a crash

  The bad news is that evolution takes too long to display the content of the email. (the first time I tried took 25 seconds, then it took between 5 and 8 seconds to display)

  A litte explanation;

  When I select the email that contains the invite, the preview pane shows "Formatting message...", and the status bar shows "Retrieving message 'XXXXX' (100% complete)" for most of the time, and a fraction of a second before displaying the invite it shows "Formatting message (100% Complete)"

  Nothing is displayed in the standard output while while it is "hanging", when run with CAMEL_DEBUG=all, the following output comes out quickly when the message is clicked, and no output until the invite is displayed

*** Bug 621496 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

I'm using the patch in ubuntu for a few days now. indeed, the crash is gone.
I didn't notice the slowness experienced by antonio compared to before the patch.

The slowness appeared for me when i upgraded from evo 2.28.* to 2.30.* (ubuntu lucid vs maverick) but it's another story.

I'd say you can commit.

  I have not encountered this error further (with invites from multiple versions of Outlook),

  I also agree that you can commit.

Created commit 6312708 in evo gnome-2-30 (2.30.3+)

I'm sorry for a late response (I missed the Monday release), I wasn't CC'ed on the bug, so I didn't know about your comments. :(

still open in 2.30.2
