Description Jonathan Kamens 2009-06-12 19:45:57 UTC 
With everything current from Rawhide, evolution crashes on startup with a double free error from glibc (see below).  Setting MALLOC_CHECK_=0 makes this crash go away.

Comment 1 Jonathan Kamens 2009-06-12 20:05:18 UTC 
Once I was able to run evolution with MALLOC_CHECK_=0, then I was able to exit and restart it *without* MALLOC_CHECK_=0 and it ran without crashing as shown above.
Comment 2 Matthew Barnes 2009-06-19 16:54:55 UTC 
This might have been fixed upstream already.  Can you retest 2.27.3 and if it's still crashing, run Evolution under gdb and get a stacktrace?  Thanks.
Comment 3 Matthew Barnes 2009-07-03 02:16:24 UTC 
I recognize this backtrace now -- fixed it upstream just recently.

I'll backport the patch.

Comment 4 Matthew Barnes 2009-07-03 02:51:15 UTC 
See if evolution-data-server-2.27.3-3.fc12 resolves the startup crash.
Comment 5 Jonathan Kamens 2009-07-06 18:38:23 UTC 
Startup crash gone.  Now other issues.  Got it to crash twice after setting up a MAPI account.  Unfortunately, can't replicate that crash with debuginfo packages installed.  However, now evolution is consuming a huge amount of RAM (1.5GB resident, >3GB total virtual size) and sucking a huge amount of CPU.  I suspect that the previous two crashes were out-of-memory issues, since I just got this:

Glib-ERROR **: gmim.c:175:failed to allocate 65536 bytes
aborting...

I'm pretty sure evolution shouldn't need >3GB of RAM just to read my email.  Something is definitely still wrong here.
Comment 6 Matthew Barnes 2009-07-06 19:05:59 UTC 
Closing since original issue is fixed.
