Comment 1 Matthew Barnes 2013-07-11 10:53:03 UTC 
Works fine here, and the code it's tripping over hasn't changed since March.
Comment 2 Yanko Kaneti 2013-07-11 13:42:34 UTC 
Testing here points to the rawhide change between -fstack-prtector -> -fstack-protector-strong
Comment 3 Milan Crha 2013-07-12 09:47:18 UTC 
Is this evolution unrelated then?
Comment 4 Josh Bressers 2013-07-12 13:42:06 UTC 
It's likely that stack protector strong is turning up a latent bug in Evolution. My group inside Red Hat pushed for this change, we're investigating and will update this bug with our findings.

Thanks.
Comment 5 Dhiru Kholia 2013-07-12 18:25:10 UTC 
The offending code line seems to be "modules/mail-config/e-mail-config-smtp-backend.c +242" which is,

g_object_get (G_OBJECT (settings), "port", &port, NULL);

Note that "port" is defined as "guint16 port" earlier.

After commenting this line out, evolution is able to launch (at least).
