Description of problem: I submitted a bug report using the Gnome Bug Tool when evolution crashed and was pointed to this bugzilla report which contains a patch for glibc that they think might fix it: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=523463 If it is appropriate, can this patch be added to a future bugfix release in Fedora? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): evolution-2.22.3.1-1.fc9.x86_64 glib-1.2.10-29.fc9.x86_64 How reproducible: It is very difficult to reproduce, only happens occasionally when reading html formatted email messages.
Reassigning -> glib2
Sorry about the glib2 mixup, as you probably know, Fedora 9 has: glib2-2.16.6-1.fc9.x86_64 FYI, I noticed that this patch was included in GLib 2.18.1: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-announce-list/2008-September/msg00084.html I don't know if it is worth fixing it in Fedora 9, but at least try for Fedora 10. I noticed that the RawHide/Beta from a few weeks ago still has only glib2-2.18.0 in it. ~Jason
I've been getting Evolution hangs in both F9 and F10. I have Evolution open at all times, after a number of hours, or maybe a day, it will be completely unresponsive and the only solution is to kill it. Unfortunately it's not leaving any clues about what is causing the crashes. However it is happening on different machines, one running F10 and one running F9.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
