Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: evolution
Another bit of Evolution fun...
I've noticed that since upgrading to 10.10, Evolution crashes randomly.
Some times it's opening a folder, sometimes when clicking on Send on a
new message, sometimes when marking a message as read.
In the latter example, I saw today, Evolution would crash EVERY time I
clicked the Read/Unread icon next to a message in one of my folders.
I finally thought I'd try running strace and seeing if I could capture
the system calls made at the time of the crash, however, when run
through systrace, the crash did NOT occur, even though without strace,
the crash occurred 5 out of 5 times when attempting to mark that message
unread.
So at a first guess, I am thinking that maybe there's some sort of race
condition going on that strace is mitigating.
I also attempted this before when evolution kept crashing while clicking
Send on new messages (still does this too) and so I ran evolution for
several hours through strace and never managed to get a crash. I DID,
however, end up with a 40GB log file from strace :(
I will look at running evolution through valgrind too and see if I can
catch anything, but I'm not hopeful that this will be any different than
when running via strace.
