Comment 1 Nigel Horne 2004-11-29 13:19:56 UTC
Further investigation shows that it doesn't happen with all clipboard
contents.

I am yet to find a pattern, maybe you need to do a code review to see
if that comes up with something.

Comment 2 Nigel Horne 2004-11-29 14:03:12 UTC
It may be that it crashes if the pasted text includes HTML.

Comment 3 Dave Malcolm 2004-11-29 21:16:03 UTC
Please can you attach a backtrace to this bug; for more information on
how to do this, see this link:
http://fedora.linux.duke.edu/wiki/index.cgi/StackTraces

(please install the evolution-debuginfo and the gtkhtml3-debuginfo
packages)

Stack trace

As requested.

Comment 5 Dave Malcolm 2004-11-30 19:36:40 UTC
Thanks.  Did you get as far as step 6 above before gdb stopped
evolution?  Please can you try doing this again, but type the
following into gdb before you type "run":
(gdb) handle SIG33 nostop

Stack trace 2

I fired up as you said and double clicked on the link to bring up this page so
that I could reply. As I did that, evolution died again. I hope this trace
helps - notuce the intersting assertion failures against mime-type - though
those may be red herrings.

Comment 7 Bastien Nocera 2005-09-14 15:21:48 UTC
Same problem with SIGINT this time:
Program received signal SIGINT, Interrupt.

The stack trace still isn't usable.

Comment 9 John Thacker 2006-10-31 20:31:15 UTC
Closing per lack of response to previous request for information.
This bug was originally filed against a much earlier version of Fedora
Core, and significant changes have taken place since the last version
for which this bug is confirmed.

Note that FC3 and FC4 are supported by Fedora Legacy for security
fixes only.  Please install a still supported version and retest.  If
it still occurs on FC5 or FC6, please reopen and assign to the correct
version.  Otherwise, if this a security issue, please change the
product to Fedora Legacy.  Thanks, and we are sorry that we did not
get to this bug earlier.
