gdb backtrace

Description of problem:
Several aborts in /usr/libexec/gsd-datetime-mechanism

Abrt captured several core files, but would not report them, saying the backtraces were unusable. The attached backtrace has all the symbols I could get.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-settings-daemon-3.0.0-1.fc15.x86_64

How reproducible:
Seems to have happened several times according the /var/log/messages.

Steps to Reproduce:
Not sure.
I was enabling and disabling ntpd from the gnome date/time settings applet,
while testing a new selinux-policy.

Actual results:


Expected results:

Comment 2 Steve Tyler 2011-04-12 20:37:17 UTC
This seems to be reproducible.

Click the gnome clock.
Click Unlock and type in a password.
Slide the Network Time switch (on or off doesn't seem to matter).
Quit by clicking on the close window box.

The applet appears to exit normally.
The settings (ntpd on or off) appear to be correct.

Reproducible on the Live CD: F15-Beta-RC2.

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-07 15:12:30 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no
longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached 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, you are encouraged to click on
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that
version of Fedora.

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:
