Bug Description

Binary package hint: evolution

On my Ubuntu Dapper system Evolution crashes when I move an e-mail into the attachment field of a calender entry and press the save button. (Hint: My calender is stored in an exchange repository. I am not sure if this bug also happens with local calender items.)

upstream comment:

"So, this is what I find.

1. Does not crash for me using mails from IMAP and GW => it might have to do
with
the datum in question.

2. the return value of camel_file_util_safe_filename appears to be NULL.

The caller (comp-editor) does not handle the NULL case correctly which needs to
be fixed.

But a good fix begs the question - what kind of a camel url would return a NULL
on 'flattening'. Is there a pattern to the mails that trigger a crash or is it
ALL ?

Sebastian, any clues would be of great help."

Can you reproduce it with a local calendar too?
