Summary: Stream parser exception fills hard drive Product: kmail2 Version: 4.7 Platform: Ubuntu Packages OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: NOR Component: general AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs@kde.org ReportedBy: corey_b...@schuhen.net Version: 4.7 (using KDE 4.7.2) OS: Linux I have one IMAP account setup, it started to download my email and all seemed ok until I realise that my hard drive is full. After investigating, it appears that KDE is writing the following string to my ~/.xsession-errors file: The stream parser raised an exception: Inconsistent state, probably due to some packet loss This is really really bad because even after nulling it, it fills up REALLY fast. Putting an error message in such a fast loop seems really bad design to me, regardless of what the root cause is. The file is growing at a rate of about 6MB/sec. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Setup a single account using IMAP. It's an exchange server. Works fine with the old kmail1. There is about 10G of mail, which it was downloading ok initially. Actual Results: No new mail downloaded and hard drive fills up causing MANY things to break. Even my text editor refused to run because it could not create a temporary file. Expected Results: !Actual Results I did actually loose some data because the first time that it happened I could not save some files that I had open. Regardless of if the root cause is found or not, something needs to be done to at least slow down those messages. Even if a dirty sleep was placed, it would limit the messages such that the hard drive would almost never fill up. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.kde.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ Kdepim-bugs mailing list Kdepim-bugs@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kdepim-bugs
