Re: [orca-list] Orca 3.0.1 crashes

[Mike Gorse <mgorse alum wpi edu>]

It may well be a crash somewhere in libatspi; if you have debugging 
symbols for AT-SPI2 and could attach to the Orca python process in gdb and 
reproduce the crash, then I think you could get a useful stack trace. 
(It would be easier to do this if you have a console screen reader set up, 
though).

You get this crash as soon as you open Thunderbird?  I can open alpha 3 
and don't see the crash.

Thanks,
