Because the error message is from deep in a library routine and mentions trying to allocate an absurd amount of memory. It *is* a bug. The trigger for the bug may be in an external file, but it's still a bug for Evo to collapse in this way. Apps are supposed to check their inputs and behave sensibly, even if it's just to give the user a meaningful error message. > i.e. if it were something systemic, then wouldn't we expect many > people to be affected?

Something about incompatible file formats between older and newer versions of Evo when the machine architecture also changes. In other words, a bug. poc _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
