Re: [Evolution] Evolution Crashes When I Try to Attach a Document

[Jeffrey Stedfast <fejj ximian com>]

This has been tracked down to a bug in RedHat 8.0's gcc I believe. Some
optimisation or another that it does at -O2 is breaking gnome-vfs's MIME
sniffing code and causing it to crash.

Afaik, someone has a patch that reorders the arguments to an
if-statement that somehow tricks gcc's code generator into doing the
Right Thing (tm).

So hopefully Ximian (and/or Red Hat) will be shipping a new gnome-vfs
soon with the patch.
