Hi,

I would like to draw your attention on issue 121625 [1] - a tracking issue
for the crashes which had been reported in Bugzilla and in the forum (as I
know from Hagar) which occur right a couple of seconds after the application
start.

I was able to reproduce such crashes - for details have a look at the issue.
Due to two viral flues which knocked me out for all together more than two
weeks it took some time to find the root cause.
I think I have found it - again look at the issue for details.

I will commit a patch to avoid such crashes in the future.


How many issues do we have that cause a random crash?

I thought there were two different issues:

1) Profile corruption

2) Checking for extension updates

Is this uncaught exception issue a new one?  Or is it the root cause
of one (or both) of the above two issues?


It seems I need to be more verbose here on the list ;-)

It is the root cause for both which are more or less the same.
A user profile corruption in the extension databases causes crashes when checking for extension updates. Extension updates can be triggered manually or automatically as part of the checking for an application update.

Best regards, Oliver.


I have also given a workaround in the issue which someone could document in
the forum as well. (As I had already discussed this workaround in another
thread with Hagar may be this has been already done.)

Thanks for your attention.

Best regards, Oliver.
