Bug 110424 – evolution 2.4 crashes on startup with SIGABRT

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Iain Buchanan 2005-10-25 03:20:11 UTC]

Straight after starting evo (before showing any windows) I get a SIGABRT.  Only
happened with evo 2.4 after I recently upgraded gnome to 2.12.  One user has
this problem, the other user doesn't.  I created a new user, and it still happens.

(from inside gdb, after typing run:)

please upgrade to evolution-2.6 ( just marked stable with GNOME 2.14 ) and re-open the bug if you can still reproduce it.
