Attachments: Backtrace with non-stripped kdelibs, kmail, {kdebase,kdepim}-kioslaves

Description Tassilo Horn 2005-10-14 01:34:42 UTC 
I've emerged kmail 1.8.3 with KDE 3.4.3 (splitted ebuilds) and gcc-4.0.2. I had  
no problems compiling and all apps are runnung well - except for kmail. It  
always crashes when I try to check for new mail. It crashes regardless the type  
of mailbox (IMAP, or POP3).  
  
I made a strace and here it is:  
kmail: processNextCheck, remaining 1  
kmail: for host pop3.freenet.de current connections=0 and limit is 0  
kmail: connection limit reached: false  
kmail: processing next mail check for Freenet  
kmail: check mail started - connections for host pop3.freenet.de now is 1  
kmail: Data: <End>  
kmail: [void KMAcctExpPop::slotJobFinished()] stage == List  
kmail: Data: <End>  
kmail: [void KMAcctExpPop::slotJobFinished()] stage == Uidl

*** KMail got signal 11 (Crashing)  
KCrash: Application 'kmail' crashing...  
  
I've compiled kmail and kdebase-kioslaves with very sane C(XX)FLAGS and  
USE="debug" (not the ones in my emerge info), but the crash remains and the  
backtrace is useless. If you need more info I'll recompile kdelibs with  
USE="debug" to get a better bt.  
  
BTW: I'm a long time KDE user and kmail 1.8.2 worked flawlessly yesterday. I  
didn't change any configs...  

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge kmail 
2. 
3.

To get a usable backtrace remove -fomit-frame-pointer from your compiler flags
and do FEATURES="nostrip" USE="debug" emerge kmail

I did so but the backtrace is (nearly?) the same as before, except that there  
are no [symbols not found] messages anymore...  
  
Using host libthread_db library "/lib/libthread_db.so.1".  
`system-supplied DSO at 0xffffe000' has disappeared; keeping its symbols.

I'm going to rebuild kdelibs, kdebase-kioslaves, kdepim-kioslaves with those 
settings, too. Maybe the backtrace is better then.

Backtrace with non-stripped kdelibs, kmail, {kdebase,kdepim}-kioslaves

Here's the promised backtrace.
Comment 6 Tassilo Horn 2005-10-14 10:06:15 UTC 
This bug [1] pointed me to the solution. After recompiling mimelib (3.4.2)  
kmail works again. Because here the version number hasn't increased I didn't  
recompile it with gcc4 and the one compiled with gcc-3.4.4 didn't work together  
with the rest.

I think this bug can be closed, but decide on you own.
Comment 7 Marcus D. Hanwell (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-10-14 16:19:27 UTC 
I was just about to ask if you were sure you had compiled ALL the KDE stuff 
with GCC 4 - otherwise stuff will break. I am trialling it on my laptop. 
Closed now.
