Evolution: hangs with glibc error

nggalai · 2006-04-03 17:38:56

Hi there,

When writing new mail or checking mail (via IMAP), after a couple of minutes Evolution hangs with the following error code in the comand line:

*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0x08ad8e40 ***

The error persists with all users, including root.

I upgraded glibc a while ago (15 March), created the necessary locales, and everything worked like a charm. My last update was on Sunday, when gtk2 was updated (2.8.12-1 -> 2.8.15-1) as well as glib2 (2.8.6-1 -> 2.10.1-1). Might this be the problem? Or where do I start looking for a solution?

Any feedback is much appreciated.

/edit: My system is a clean current/extras installation, no testing.

eh...apparently i didn't do a good job of searching. i posted the same issue here. i'll direct people to this thread from there...

Okay, the problem disappears with the upgrade to Evolution 2.6.0 (or the whole GNOME 2.14 upgrade). Sweet!

aye, 2.6 cleared it. i tried upgrading to 2.6 at one point but it wasn't in testing...i imagine because it was being migrated to extra

Hi
I upgraded to evolution 2.6.0-2 and in the place of icons in Evolution show a [X] icon.

What happened?

wouldn't know, but perhaps that's a discussion for it's own thread since it doesn't particularly relate to the problem discussed in this thread
