As requested on bug 575030 comment 3
The crash was reproducible, but after a reboot (which also disabled AT) it works fine again.
Actually, it looks like your problem is the same as 575030. However, the fact remains that with out the symbolic stack trace... WE CAN NOT TROUBLESHOOT. Be that as it may, since you did not like my handling of the other bug, which was as per our guidelines, I will ask for some additional information in the next comment. Please do what it says and provide us with that information AND a useful set of steps we can use to reliably reproduce this crash. Thank you VERY much for your extra efforts. In advance. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
Thank you for taking the time to submit this bug report. We have reviewed the information you have provided above, and there is some additional information we require that will be helpful in our diagnosis of this issue. First of all, could we get output of the command, saved in a text file and attached to this bug: $ rpm -qa *thunderbird* *mozilla* *flash* *plugin* Please also install thunderbird-debuginfo. # debuginfo-install thunderbird Then run thunderbird inside the gdb debugger. Please do the following: $ thunderbird -g Stuff will appear. Ignore this until you get the gdb command prompt, then do: (gdb) run Now, thunderbird should start up. Use it and reproduce the crash. When thunderbird crashes, you should be back to the gdb prompt. Now do: (gdb) thread apply all back-trace More screens of stuff will occur. Copy all of this part to your editor of choice, such as gedit, and save it as an uncompressed file and attach it to this bug report. We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers

Yes, it is the same crash as 575030, but after the "debuginfo-install thunderbird" you requested. It surprised me that the result was a different hash and thus a new report, but here it is. > Be that as it may, since you did not like my handling of the other bug, which > was as per our guidelines, I'm sorry if it came out as a personal critique - that was in no way intended. My focus was on getting this issue solved - and improve tools and methods and Fedora in genereral. However: Abrt automates (and virtualizes) the debuginfo-install step, so FWIW I don't think the "debuginfo, please" response should be used on abrt reports. If abrt doesn't do it properly then it is an abrt bug. Perhaps the guidelines could be clarified - or just used with care. Though permitted by the guidelines it is IMHO a bit aggressive to close with INSUFFICIENT_DATA immediately after requesting more info. The guidelines suggests setting "needinfo" flag instead.

Please do the following: Sorry, as described in comment 3 it started working again after a reboot and I can't provide the requested information. But again: AFAIK that is exactly what abrt did. I no longer (or currently don't) have a problem, but with two independent reports it seems like there really is a real issue which either occurs randomly or just is hard to reproduce. IMHO the issue should remain open for some time and we should see if other duplicates reports are seen.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 12. 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 '12'. 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 12'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 12 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 12 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-12-02. Fedora 12 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.
