If I type a user or email address into Evolution when using the Exchange plugin, the auto-complete part of Evo-exchange will sometimes crash. On some occasions it will open the bug-buddy program and allow me to save a stacktrace. Other occasions the bug-buddy doesn't come up. EVERY time it stops mouse-clicks from working under AIGLX - I have to drop into a console and "pkill evo" to get mouse-clicks back. I'm guessing this is because the crash takes down evolution as well. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open a new email or forward an existing email 2. Type a valid email, name or alias that is contained on the Exchange GAL server, so that the Exchange autocomplete runs 3. After 2-3 consecutive lookups, evolution-exchange will crash and bring down Evolution with it. Actual Results: Evolution-exchange crashes. It also breaks quite a lot of other stuff. Expected Results: kept running and not crashed.

Adding upstream URL. Can you add splitdebug to your features, add -g to your CFLAGS, and re-emerge evolution-exchange glib and ldap? Then you should get a much much better backtrace.

Created attachment 112555 [details] proper backtrace this one should be a bit better. or should I rebuild some more packages?
Hmm... That's not actually any better than it was before. Can you quit evo and run: evolution --force-shutdow (or reboot), and try and get another crash? It can't hurt to rebuild evo and e-d-s, too, although they don't show up in the backtrace as it's listed now.
<sigh> That should be evolution --force-shutdown

Well, I've had problems with bug-buddy not recognizing e-d-s, but not with it not popping up. Lots of potential things can be built; I have my whole system built that way. But, based on the backtraces you've given, and the ones in the upstream bug, you should have enough built. Generally useful things are: gtk+, glib, gnome-vfs, libgnome.

Created attachment 113147 [details] better backtrace?? this is the latest one
Unfortuately, that's no good either. I'm not sure what to tell you at this point, except maybe to rebuild evo-exchange and libbonobo with -O0 (that's oh zero) to avoid functions getting optimized out... I use -O2 -ggdb with splitdebug for my whole system (it's fine, except for disk space), and I generally get decent backtraces, but I also don't use evo-exchange (no exchange server access...) Thanks very much for your persistance in this, it's much appreciated; discovering the cause of this bug has been a nightmare so far.
I've got another backtrace - I rebuilt evolution-exchange and libbonobo with the following CFLAGS: CFLAGS="-march=prescott -O0 -pipe -ggdb" but it doesn't look like there's any more in there than before... I'll do an "emerge -e world" over the weekend... it's a 3ghz P4 and ccache is 5GB so it should easily complete in 72 hours... (In reply to comment #13) > Unfortuately, that's no good either.

Created attachment 113466 [details] new backtrace... here's another one...
You're right, it's no better. What a frustrating bug...
Created attachment 113847 [details] Another backtrace Hey here's another one - I don't know if this is any better...
Upstream resolved this report as INCOMPLETE. Can anybody reproduce this bug? Is it possible to provide further details and reopen that bug?
Which version of the plugin does this crash occure with?
upstream requested information, please provide them some.
I can confirm I'm not getting this problem anymore... I am now using evo 2.22 but also didn't have the problem with evo 2.20 think I reported this against 2.16 or something so looks like it has disappeared...
reopening per comment #21
and closing, thanks for replying.
