Comment 1 Kjartan Maraas 2010-12-16 16:26:11 UTC

Another hang. This time when opening a folder for the first time after having moved it to maildir:

Comment 2 Matthew Barnes 2010-12-16 16:48:59 UTC

It's hard to debug deadlocks without seeing traces for all the threads.

Can you capture a full trace with "thread apply all bt" instead of just "bt" please?

Comment 3 Matthew Barnes 2011-02-02 16:33:11 UTC

Removing GNOME 3.0 target since there's not enough information here to do anything.

Comment 4 Kjartan Maraas 2011-02-02 20:19:05 UTC

Could this possibly have happened because gnome-terminal ran out of file descriptors? There was a fd leak in g-t at the time I ran these things and I had CAMEL_DEBUG=all running in the terminal...

Comment 5 Matthew Barnes 2011-02-02 20:27:26 UTC

That's possible.  We may also be leaking file descriptors -- it's happened before.

If you can still reproduce this, a complete backtrace should all threads would be really helpful.

Comment 6 Matthew Barnes 2011-02-02 20:27:46 UTC

*showing all threads

Comment 7 Kjartan Maraas 2011-02-03 12:02:26 UTC

I tried moving a folder with 35k messages from mbox to maildir now without having any problems. Had enabled CAMEL_DEBUG=all in the terminal window during the move too.
