evolution crashed with SIGSEGV in vfprintf()

Thanks for your bug report. Please try to obtain a backtrace http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash and attach the file to the bug report. This will greatly help us in tracking down your problem.

Attached the backtrace with debug symbols for libcamel. please let me know if you need more debug symbols to be turned on.

Added again removing the email ids in the log

Thanks Shaji, any chance to install the evolution-data-server, libglib2, libgtk2, evolution dbgsym packages and get a new backtrace? the one you submitted previously is missing some symbols there, thanks.

Attached with all the symbols.

Thank Shaji, I've sent this upstream at: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=597816

I have one imap account configured and am running AMD64 x 4.
I have been running Ubuntu 9.10 for abou t1 week without getting this crash...

Please answer the comment from upstream:
>>>
It is trying to build a search folder, which seems to be broken for some
reason. Was this only an accidental crash of is it reproducible on the machine?
<<<

I'm unable to reproduce any errors as i've nuked my upgraded 9.10
install in favour of a clean install off the CD.

Sorry i can't help anymore; but this is a work machine and i coudn't
afford the downtime.

Kind regards, Jules

Zen left me, then I remembered, nothing to forget.

It was not an accidental one, I could reproduce the problem everytime. As mentioned by upstream, I figured out that it was due to my search folders and managed to delete them (pressed delete immediately upon start). After deleting the search folders I could not reproduce the problem. Evolution was upgraded from Jaunty - I guess this could be reproducible if you try to upgrade from Jaunty to Karmic with search folders - but I have not verified it as this is the only system that I have. If no one has the problem, I guess this can be closed - but I would be great if evolution can add checks to prevent crashes like this though.

Thanks. I put copied your comment to the upstream bug. Setting back to triaged.

That's fixed upstream now.
