592852 – [abrt] crash in evolution-2.28.3-3.el6: raise: Process /usr/bin/evolution was killed by signal 6 (SIGABRT)

RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Comment 3 Milan Crha 2010-05-17 10:23:36 UTC

Thanks for a bug report. This is same as bug #544759 for Fedora, which was marked as a duplicate and that one moved to an upstream bug [1], which was unfortunately closed as invalid. Anyway, looking around for XAllocID bugs I found at least these [2] where subject contains "XAllocID". From that I would assume it's something with gtk2, as stated in bug #559199 comment #3.

I saw something similar upstream too, which was caused by evolution-mapi, calling g_free on something allocated with g_slice or g_slice_free called on a g_new0 memory, I do not recall precisely, but you are mentioning above you are using only IMAP, thus that shouldn't be the case.

Thus I'm moving this to gtk2.

Hello, yes I use only imap.
