Please can you install the evolution-debuginfo package, and then run evolution from inside gdb. Assuming you still get the assertion failure, please can you supply a stack backtrace when the assertion happens. See this link for more information: http://fedora.linux.duke.edu/wiki/index.cgi/StackTraces Created attachment 107987 [details]
gdb strack trace
I can't find an evolution-debuginfo package, and yum search debug|grep
evolution shows nothing.
Using gdb evolution gives a strack trace, posted.
Look in here for the debuginfo package: ftp://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/3/i386/debug/ Created attachment 107993 [details]
stack back trace with evolution-debuginfo installed
Looks like the assertion fails when generating the preview of the particular email you have selected. You should be able to turn off preview mode by running gconf-editor, browsing to /apps/evolution/mail/display/show_preview and turning it off. You should then be able to restart evolution and see which email was selected. Please you can verify that it's a problem with that specific email by trying to open that email (should crash), and by trying to view other emails (should not crash) Is there any chance you can attach the problem email to this bug report?

no content just boundaries
The problem is definitely caused by a particular e-mail.
I found that frantically clicking on a different folder while evolution starts
works after a while. Next time I'll use gconf :)
The e-mail was most likely created by pst2mbox, so the evolution import tool
should have sanity checked it. Guess it didn't.
I've edited the e-mail so that I can post it here. I've had enough evolution
crashed for today though, so I haven't tested the amended email.
The problem seems to be because it's a multipart message missing any content.
i.e. the boundaries are there, with the headers after the boundaries, but with
no real content.
Confirmed as a crasher on FC4T1. Crasher bug with no activity. Reported upstream. http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=74320 |
