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 11 Milan Crha 2013-04-25 06:23:20 UTC 
Thanks for a bug report. This is caused by a thread non-safety of GConf, as indicated here:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=627358

and here, with its duplicates:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=619567

Except of the first bug there was no exact fix in this, beside architecture change in evolution-data-server and evolution, basically where the place to save account information is saved, in time of 3.6.x.
Comment 12 Milan Crha 2013-04-25 06:31:49 UTC 
Looking closely to the backtrace, your issue is the first bug. The commit Matthew mentioned is this one [1], but it changes public API, which might mean to rebuild all dependent packages in RHEL to be sure it didn't break anything. I'm not sure how much it is doable. Maybe if we'll not deprecate the old function and will use the new in ENameSelector, then it'll be fine.

evolution-data-server-2.28.3-name-selector-load.patch

for evolution-data-server;

Backport of Matthew's patch, without changing existing API.
Comment 16 Milan Crha 2013-05-09 14:44:57 UTC 
The above patch is part of the eds 2.32.3, thus I add dependency on the rebase bug.
