RE: [Evolution] Evolution crashes when attempting to saveattachment

Hello again,

News:
I've just removed all evolution packages, and rm -Rf'ed the ~/evolution dir.
I reinstalled evolution (1.0.8-3mdk) and went on again with gdb etc.
In case it's not clear, as it appeared in your last message, gdb is not
locking up my machine, evolution is. I'm quite definite about that.

I just tried something else.
I straced evolution-mail, then ran evolution (strace showed the trace
progressing as new threads of evolution-mail were loaded)... and, it went
fine.

What I'm trying to highlight here is this :
Evolution ran on it's own crashes while attempting to save attachment to
disk.
BUT :
if evolution-mail was loaded before with gdb or strace, the attachment save
goes fine.

This is the most I could get, so maybe you can sort something out of this
strange observation.
Obviously, I won't be able to get you a trace of the crash, because
everytime I trace it, it works fine ...

Thanks for your time and regards,

Romain Riviere

I know that gdb isn't causing Evolution to crash, but if gdb is locking
up your machine and/or not giving you a trace of all threads, then I
would consider that a bug in gdb.

Anyways, since it seems your gdb is buggy, I'm not sure you can actually
*get* a useful trace without which, I can't fix the bug (unless you can
tell me exactly how to reproduce it on my box).

Uh,

Any *constructive* comments on that one ?
gdb sure isn't the cause for evolution crash ...

Thanks,

Romain

*shrug*

Sounds like your gdb is broken or something.

Hello,

Once again, I tried debugging again and again. I never could.

After having

waited for like 2 minutes for gdb to output the bt for the

thread, I have to

killev in order to regain control of my computer.
However, here's what I could get from it :

1 : gdb evolution -> run -> [crashing evo] -> Program

received signal

SIGINT, Interrupt.
0x40ec4c74 in poll () from /lib/libc.so.6
thread apply all bt :
Thread 1 (Thread 1024 (LWP 32444)):
#0 0x40ec4c74 in poll () from /lib/libc.so.6
#1 0x40dcd734 in g_source_remove_by_funcs_user_data () from
/usr/lib/libglib-1.2.so.0
Cannot access memory at address 0xf

(ie exactly the same as last time)

Doing this and not killing evo (killev) quick enough resulted

in a global

freeze of the system, for about 5 minutes. The bg tasks seem to

be running

quite well though, for proof this mail is being sent from a

MASQ'ed windows

host ...

2 : gdb evolution-mail -> run -> [runing then trying to

crashing evo] unable

to crash ...
(meaning it works fine eh)

?!?!

I'm all ears,

Regards,
Romain

can you type:

"thread apply all bt"

at the gdb prompt and post what it says?

Thanks,

Jeff

Hi Jeff,

I'm baffled ...
I opened a shell for my regular user, launched "gdb

evolution-mail", ran it,

then ran evolution ...
and I was unable to reproduce the crash !?!

Then I ran "gdb evolution" and run, and was able to do

it again :

Thread 1 (Thread 1024 (LWP 5669)):
#0 0x40ec3c74 in poll () from /lib/libc.so.6
#1 0x40dcc734 in g_source_remove_by_funcs_user_data () from
/usr/lib/libglib-1.2.so.0
Cannot access memory at address 0xf

And the program is still crashed, it's taking me hours to

launch killev...

I've waited like 5 whole minutes...
To answer previous posts, it shouldn't have anything to do with

IMAP/mbox

since every attachment causes the problem, either retrieved

from POP mail,

from local mail, or from data converted from Mozilla.
And I don't think it has anything to do with DNS since

everythign else is

working fine (I've had problems with sendmail & DNS in the

past, that's when

I fixed it ...)

Thanks for any lights,
Romain

Can you get a backtrace of the crash/hang in the

evolution-mail process?


There are instructions somewhere on

http://support.ximian.com, just

search for "backtrace" in the knowledgebase.
