After a major system upgrade, evolution is now freezing on startup with the
following messages:
$ evolution mail
Bonobo accessibility support initialized
GTK Accessibility Module initialized
CalDAV Eplugin starting up ...
(evolution-2.6:11126): camel-WARNING **: camel_exception_get_id called with
NULL parameter.
*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0xbfe175b0 ***
I had problems with evolution freezing/crashing, reporting calls to free() on
an invalid pointer before, and upgraded from evo 2.4 to 2.6 a few weeks ago
when the latter was still ~x86. 2.6 worked OK before the system upgrade, but
it's now behaving like v2.4 did, at least it is when invoked from a KDE Konsole
window (gnome is down at the moment).
Two questions:
1. Does anyone know how to fix the problem and make evolution-2.6.2 run, or
have any suggestions of things I might try?
2. If not, can someone recommend another Linux groupware suite with the same
capabilities and which can (hopefully) import the calendar files from
evolution?
It may be worth noting that if I set MALLOC_CHECK_=0, evolution crashes instead
of freezing and offers to run bug-buddy. If I click "Inform developers",
bug-buddy gets invoked and it also crashes.
I'm running this stuff under KDE, pending a repair and restoration of my gnome
desktop. It may work better in gnome, I don't know.
