Hardy: Evolution crashes when sending any e-mail

I have tried to do a GDB backtrace of the problem, following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Backtrace.
Funny thing: Evo won't crash when sending e-mails or accessing Edit / Preferences when attached to GDB. Well, I'm a newbie, probably that is supposed to happen.

See below how it went. I also attached the entire backtrace.

I am getting the same results.
kernel 2.6.24-5-generic
GNOME evolution 2.21.90

Thank you for your bug report. I will set the status to: Confirmed since there are two users with the same results. This bug did not have a package associated with it. I have classified this bug as a bug in evolution. You can learn more about finding the right package at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage

Thank you.

That seems an another duplicate of the gnome-session turns warning into crashers issue which has been fixed yesterday. Did you update gnome-session and restarted GNOME today? Does unsetting G_DEBUG workaround the issue?

Thank you Julian.
One question: Since Evolution is the default e-mail and calendar software on Ubuntu, an error that makes it impossible to send a single e-mail through it should really be classified as of low importance?

Effenberg

HI Sebastien,

Yes, I have done all of yesterday and today updates and cold-booted. The problem persists thou.

And you're right: Unsetting G_DEBUG mkes it possible to use Evolution (it won't crash on sending e-mails and acessing Edit / Preferences).

Regards,
Effenberg
