(In reply to comment #1) > Created an attachment (id=267851) [edit] > Bug report from mail-notification Fedora 8 Never seen such errors messages. Dmitry, do you have any clue what might be wrong there?
The strange thing about the mail-notification error is it tries to restart in a endless loop but it you are trying stop the application it auto-restarts on top of itself.
It seems that Fedora 8 have spoiled mail-notification some way. There are several bug reports already... Thorsten, could you examine the build.logs of mail-notification, especially various compiler warnings? I hope we can find some new-library-incompatibilities this way. Or point me to that build logs.

One was one bug about a extreme rare corner case where the user did something wrong that lead to the error he saw. This one might be a bug, but I still fail to even understand what's wrong here. > Thorsten, could you examine the build.logs of mail-notification, especially > various compiler warnings?

Maybe you know where to find them, but afaics they got deleted: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=129820
Yep, it seems to be deleted. I still have no access to any F8 machine. Could you rebuild youself and save the build logs?

But I'd reallly like to understand the problem we have here. @Scott, can you please open a terminal, run "killall mail-notification" in it (just to be mn isn't running already) and afterwards start mail-notification with the command "mail-notification" in the terminal? Is there any output? Does it crash as well?
Sorry I am late getting back with you, I was able to stop the mail-notification and restart in the terminal however it did not crash. I will be monitoring this, Thanks, Scott Griffin
