Hi,
over the last few days, evolution has taken to crashing - the app just
disappears a few seconds after start-up. This seems to be triggered by
events like clicking on emails or moving mails about, and doesn't seem
to be specific to a particular problem email.
If I start with the debug flag, it still crashes no interesting errors
are recorded;

Dear Tom and list,
I have had what appears to be the same problem for some time
with evo 2.12.3 as suppled with RedHat EL 5.3 (64-bit smp),
except it can happen well after evolution starts, basically
anytime the mouse is moved.
(My system is a Lenovo T61 laptap if that matters.)
Because this is an older version, I did not place a bug with
the evolution folks, but instead with the RedHat bugzilla. They
don't seem very interested.
What I have to add to your note is this: Each time this happens,
I get a core dump. You may not if you have dumps turned off in your
shell preferences (.cshrc or whatever). I did not install the
debug source, so these dumps are sort of useless, but if somebody
would find a dump useful for debugging, please let me know what
packages are needed to install the debug versions and I will send
the first dump I get to you.
Also, please let me know whether it is appropriate to file a
bug for 2.12.3 with the evolution bugzilla.
Anybody else having this problem?
