Package: evolution
Version: 2.28.1-2
Severity: normal
I'm not sure if this is related to bug #495530:
I have migrated my home directory from an i386 system to an AMD64
system, there is a Mail directory containing 1,8 GB mail in MH
format.
When I start evolution from command line, there is a popup that mail is
being migrated from evolution 2.24 format. The status bar doesn't proceed,
instead there is an error message and evolution is closed immediately:
GLib-ERROR **:/tmp/buildd/glib2.0-2.22.3/glib/gmem.c:136: failed to allocate
31739410856 bytes
In GDB it looks like this:

I have been using evolution rarely on the old system, so
the config files may be old, but removing the .evolution directory
doesn't change anything.
I have asked the evolution team on their IRC channel, they said it
was a known bug in 2.26 and should be gone in 2.28, so I waited
for 2.28 to reach testing before reporting this. But obviously the
problem isn't gone.
Thanks
