boundary error)

Greetings everyone, glad to finally be part of the club.
I've setup neomutt with Gmail successfully but iSync is giving me pains.
I've enabled all use flags :

net-mail/isync berkdb sasl ssl zlib

Setup .mbsyncrc as follows : https://bpa.st/FCFQ

and my isync.gpg as follows : https://bpa.st/LRFA

All of these were the result of following the following article :

https://seniormars.com/posts/neomutt/#isync

It worked for me when I was on Fedora, and I had no segfaults or
whatever on there (though isync was a bit of a pain to setup there as
well).

With all this in mind, here's the output in full :

[N] ficonni@tux ~> mbsync -a
C: 0/1  B: 0/0  F: +0/0 *0/0 #0/0  N: +0/0 *0/0 #0/0fish: Job 1, 'mbsync -a' 
terminated by signal SIGSEGV (Address boundary error)

Doing the same in bash will result in :


ficonni@tux ~ $ mbsync -a
C: 0/1  B: 0/0  F: +0/0 *0/0 #0/0  N: +0/0 *0/0 #0/0Segmentation fault

I've also double-checked if ~/.local/share/email/ficonni exists, and it
does.

I've tried searching for similar issues online but found nothing.

I've also contacted #gentoo but they agreed this was only a segfault and
that my configs were good. It would need debugging they said but  I didn't have 
the time to work on it anymore
then and the issue still stands so here I am.

Any help please ?

Welcome!  :-)



Thank you !
Sadly without a backtrace to indicate which software makes a call to
unallocated memory space, it is difficult to guess what causes the problem and
how to fix it.

You could take a look here for more information on debugging such faults, when
you have more time:

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/GDB
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Quality_Assurance/Backtraces
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Valgrind

If your problem is caused by a frequently encountered bug, you'll find it is
fixed sooner or later.  Otherwise, for some edge case you may have come
across, you'll have to submit a bug report with necessary debugging
information.

PS. I recall wget causing segfaults when built against some version of glibc,
which was patched soon after a bug report.  When such errors are widespread
and bug reports by users arrive thick and fast, a patch or workaround soon
arrives.

I've taken a quick  look at the GDB page and will look at the others as well.
Only thing I have to add are :

1. The Gentoo Wiki is exceptionaly well written, some that's not in IT like me understood what was written rather well regardeless of the
topic.

2. We should consider this case closed here  as it's better for me to take
the info you gave me and forward what I find to the devs.

Once again, thank you. The resources will be of great use.

Cheers !
