Description Miguel de Icaza 2005-08-29 15:19:51 UTC

I was using Evolution just fine for a few mail messages, but once I hit a
message it would consistently crash:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

So at this point it is not possible to start up Evolution without getting a crash.

Comment 1 A Nagappan 2005-08-31 13:53:56 UTC

Miguel: Looks like the crash happened in pango library which has been called
from gtkhtml. If the mail source is not confidential, can you please attach here ?

Comment 2 Miguel de Icaza 2005-08-31 15:32:07 UTC

Am sorry, I deleted the email as it was some kind of spam.

Comment 3 Harish Krishnaswamy 2005-09-09 07:06:53 UTC

Not Evolution. The symbol 'pango_fc_font_create_metrics_for_context' is
undefined in libpangocairo. Encountered the problem while building evolution
before. Posting a patch to pango developers upstream.

Comment 4 Stanislav Brabec 2005-09-09 08:29:39 UTC

If you want to have the patch in 10.0, please provide the patch or upstream bug
with patch.

Comment 5 JP Rosevear 2005-09-20 18:15:20 UTC

What is the status of this harish?  I've seen no more reports of this.

Comment 6 Harish Krishnaswamy 2005-11-24 11:33:23 UTC

Oops..I missed this one completely. I had been told this issue had been resolved in the trunk already and the QA could not reproduce this again. 
Poornima, can you pl. regress this bug and resolve it if you can confirm it is not valid anymore ?

Comment 7 Poornima Nayak 2005-11-29 09:56:59 UTC

This bug is not reproducible on Suse 10.0 anymore. Marking bug as 'Resolved Obsolete'.
