Re: [Evolution-hackers] Exchange server crashing on certain appointments

[Sarfraaz Ahmed <asarfraaz novell com>]

Thanks for letting us know about this Gerardo. I saw your update on the 
bug report for this. I shall update the bug as and when we find more 
information on this. I was not able to reproduce this on my setup here, 
so shall be needing more information on this, though its an awful bad 
situation to reproduce even for the person who reported it. I am 
planning for a bit of a rework on the calendar code for 2.1, so 
hopefully that should also help us fix this.

Thanks
