Description of Problem: The evolution-addressbook crashes very often if I generate a lot of new contacts and open already existing contacts Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.0.3, 1.0.7, 1.0.8-3 (it doesn't depend on the version) How Reproducible: unfortunately the error occurs 'undeterministic' just type in new contacts and open existing contacts after a few 'cycles' the evolution-addressbook will crash
I can't seem to reproduce this -- when it crashes, does bug buddy pop up and allow you to get a stack trace?
No,I only receive the message, that the component evolution-adressbook has crashed and that it has to be restarted... In the current version of the beta I use (re0728) with evolution-1.0.8-4 the error can't be reproduced any more - how do we proceed? Shall we close the bug then - or shall I still 'have an eye' on the application due to the undeterministic behaviour?
Hello, this may or may not be the same bug, but I am able to reproduce it 100%, so you might be interested (although it applies to RH 7.3 - evolution 1.0.3-6). (Sorry, I'm typing it from memory, so some of the texts may be a bit different.) * create a new account (or otherwise "clean state"), with locale cs_CZ (maybe isn't relevant) * Start Evolution (In the wizard I have used "none" incoming mail server, sendmail as outgoing mail, but this is probably not relevant) * File/Import, Single file, std.vcf (from KMail, I'll send it by mail), type VCard (BTW, why doesn't autodetection work?), import to Contacts * Wonder why it bothers you with "importer not ready, waiting 5 seconds" * Open Contacts. You'll see strange characters there (the std.vcf file is in UTF-8, I don't know what Evolution expects). The very first address book entry is labeled "AdAimek, Filip" (3rd and 4th characters are a bit different) * Double-click on it, click on Full name * Instead of "AdAImek", you'll see "Ad__mek" (don't forget to wonder again); delete the underscores to have "Admek", click OK * in the "File As", select "Admek, Filip" * click "Save and continue" in the toolbar * double-click on the next address book entry (the one below the "Admek, Filip" one) * See the dialog that evolution-addressbook crashed, and wonder where the core file has disappeared, even with ulimit -c unlimited
Confirmed crash on null, evolution-addressbook crashed for me. No stack trace unfortunately.
Have you tried this with evolution 1.2.x in rawhide/phoebe?
OK, here is a stack trace. Clean install of Phoebe 8.0.93, cs_CZ.UTF-8, gtkhtml-1.1.8-3, evolution-1.2.2-1 Occured when clicking on the down arrow of the date widget for "birthday" when adding a new contact. I've experienced a crash in other place, but was not able to reproduce it and get the backtrace.

All, in my last comment you've found a backtrace of the last crash of evo. I'm using now version 1.2.2-5 with RHL 9 and I'm still experiencing the same problem
I've yet to reproduce this and can't reproduce on trying with 1.4.x. Assuming its fixed there, reopen if not.
