Description Ville Skyttä 2006-08-29 19:11:52 UTC 
When previewing or viewing a particular message, evolution crashes/aborts with
these messages on the console:

(evolution-2.6:5170): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_get_pixels: assertion
`pixbuf != NULL' failed
(evolution-2.6:5170): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_get_pixels: assertion
`pixbuf != NULL' failed
(evolution-2.6:5170): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_get_has_alpha: assertion
`pixbuf != NULL' failed
GdkPixbuf-ERROR **: file io-gif.c: line 984 (gif_get_lzw): assertion failed:
(gdk_pixbuf_get_has_alpha (context->frame->pixbuf))
aborting...

This is FC5 x86_64 with evolution-2.6.3-1.fc5.5 and gtk2-2.8.20-1.

I'm attaching the offending message.  I also have it stored in a local folder,
let me know if you want to take a look at that.

WARNING: the message is spam, and one of the attachments (Cupid.gif, which I
suppose is the one causing the problem) says it's base64 encoded, but doesn't
look like valid base64 data.  So I have no idea what it actually is, approach
with caution.

Comment 2 Matthew Barnes 2006-08-29 21:30:35 UTC 
Thanks for the bug report.  I'll have a look (carefully).
Comment 3 Ville Skyttä 2006-11-01 17:23:15 UTC 
Still crashes as of evolution-2.8.0-7.fc6.x86_64 and gtk2-2.10.4-4.fc6.x86_64,
bumping to FC6.
Comment 4 Ville Skyttä 2006-12-04 20:21:32 UTC 
Still crashes with evolution-2.8.2.1-2.fc6.x86_64, gtk2-2.10.4-6.fc6.x86_64
Comment 5 Matthew Barnes 2007-10-05 15:39:19 UTC 
My apologies that I still have not investigated this one yet.  I think I
remember something like this being fixed in GTK+ recently.

Can you please re-test with Fedora 8 Test 2 or later?
Comment 6 Ville Skyttä 2007-10-05 18:39:24 UTC 
I don't have a F8t* box around at the moment, and I've also switched to kmail
quite a while ago so I don't have a setup that I could test this with at the moment.

However, I suppose it'd be fairly easy for you to test it - the gzipped message
in  comment 1 looks like one that can probably be imported to evolution as a
mbox after gunzipping it.
Comment 7 Matthew Barnes 2007-10-05 19:00:17 UTC 
Thanks for responding.  Didn't see your attachment there; I was just doing a
quick sweep over old bugs.  I'll try to reproduce this for myself on F8.
Comment 8 Matthew Barnes 2007-10-06 04:26:18 UTC 
Tested the message in comment #1 with Evolution 2.12 and GTK+ 2.12.  You said
you thought the data in the message was not valid Base64, and sure enough the
image failed to load and Evolution displayed a missing image icon (red X) where
it should have been.  No crash either, so I'm going to close this.
