Please try to resubmit this bug report in ABRT. So far, there are no attachments. No stacktrace.

OS Release: Fedora release 18 (Spherical Cow)
Comment 3 Michael Schwendt 2012-12-15 17:27:21 UTC 
There's still no backtrace, and the line numbers in the truncated one are useless. You could still cut'n'paste the backtrace manually from within ABRT. Or generate it manually with gdb after using debuginfo-install, of course.

From a tester perspective, it has not been possible to reproduce a crash of the plugin's preferences dialog, no matter how often I tried to open/close it with clamd running or inactive.
Comment 4 Frank Murphy 2012-12-15 17:45:35 UTC 
Unfortunately I can't at the moment.
Clamav is completely uninstalled.
it may have been causing the problem


abrt had been cleared out due to wanting to just add a comment,
and bz was giving a http 502. and not much extra

So will close as nab for this.
Until can reproduce.

Claws-mail is  now working with no clamd plugin or otherwise.
Comment 5 Michael Schwendt 2012-12-15 21:46:54 UTC 
It *is* a bug. Claws Mail must not crash in the plugin preferences. Not either if the plugin code doesn't manage to connect with clamd.

But if it's not reproducible [and mind you, the developer(s) have likely not had it crash either], and without a detailed stacktrace, somebody would need to proof-read the source code and come up with a theory what might make it crash.

That is what I've done after skimming over the source code. :-)

Comment 8 Michael Schwendt 2012-12-16 09:18:45 UTC 
Upstream has found an underlying [worse] problem in the code, which to fix will need more changes.
