Confirmed: 1. I have several email accounts I pull from, but to be honest, I only ever receive new mail on my gmail account. 2. My ethernet cord stinks. This is critical: one must be *disconnected* from the mail server, and reconnected. 3. Pidgin then goes and re-retrieves the list of new mails, mistakenly appending to the new list of emails instead of replacing them. This can cause duplicate errors, and recurs for every reconnect. I can tell, for example, that I have reconnected 9 times, because I have 12 mails, each listed 9 times for a total of 108 new mails. 4. Open the new mail dialogue. Press the close button. Pidgin dies; terminal reports a segmentation fault.
Undoubtedly, it is trying to free more memory than has actually been allocated. It probably only allocated for the correct amount of mails in the first place (e.g., 12), but is then trying to free for the whole amount later (e.g., 108). The backtrace seems to confirm, in my n00b view of the program, that it crashed in the free() function. I cannot attach any further files, as I have no idea how to create a dependencies.txt or whatever ProblemType: Bug Architecture: x86_64 Date: Fri Feb 7 00:07:00 2009 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 8.10 ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/pidgin Package: pidgin 1:2.5.2 Uname: Linux 2.6.27-11-generic #1 SMP Thu Jan 29 19:28:32 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux ** Attachment added: "gdb-pidgin.txt" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/22069857/gdb-pidgin.txt -- Pidgin crashes when the mail notification is clicked when my account is disconnected https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/275836 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
