[Evolution] Exchange connector frequently hangs - My stack trace attached!

[Bakay Árpád <arpad bakay netvisor hu>]

Dear list,

I am a determined Evolution user although a stability bug annoys me
practically on a daily basis.

I use it with our company Exchange and have about 6000 messages there
(this may be important).

In good times Evolution works pretty well, fetches and sends emails with
quite acceptable speed, etc. However, sometimes it gets very slow, the
GUI greyes out, and in some cases it even hangs completely.

--

This time when it has hanged for about 30 minutes, I decided to attach
to it with gdb and examine its threads.

I found a very suspicious one, displayed below (actually I have seen
this earlier as well). What I do not like is #14 in
e2k_context_send_message, where I believe the first 2 parameters should
be pointers rather than small integers...

- What do you think about it? 
- Is it really a problem (memory overwritten), or just gdb tricking me?
- Is it known to the developers?
- How should we proceed (I can take such shots typically within 24
hours, it happens that often now).

Regards: ÃrpÃd
