Description of problem: Installed evolution-1.4.3-3 and used with an existing email archive from 1.2.x (Red Hat Linux 9). Home directory is NFS mounted, but when I try to attach a file in /tmp, the evolution becomes non-responsive and can only be killed (or metacity? will say that the application is not responding after a couple of minutes and ask if you want to kill it). I have consistently reproduced it in my environment. Problem still shows up with 1.4.3-5
Can you attach to it with gdb and get a backtrace?
Will try to do so.. I did not recieve the email from bugzilla because of the Red Hat email burp.
Created attachment 93261 [details] BackTrace of Hung Evolution Here is the backtrace. I have moved the system to RHEL-2.9.5 and replicated it there also.
I do not think the problem is evolution limited.. but I do not know where it is. dia also freezes in a similar call _dl_sysinfo_int80 in a futex.. the only application I had seen consistent futex lockups was rpm before. I think the culprit may be #8 0x0021d332 in libgnomeui_module_info_get () from /usr/lib/libgnomeui-2.so.0 but I am not sure.. please let me know how I can debug better.
Does the new ORBit2 at http://people.redhat.com/~katzj/ORBit2/ help (for cambridge only) / have you continued to see this with evolution 1.4.5?
I have switched all my systems to Taroon.. since then. I have not been able to duplicate with taroon [smooge@glasya smooge]$ rpm -q evolution ORBit2 evolution-1.4.4-5.1 ORBit2-2.6.2-1
Okay, guessing either it's a) the ORBit2 locking bug or b) something fixed in 1.4.4 or later
