Package: evolution
Version: 2.30.2-1
Severity: important
I have encountered a reproducible crash in Evolution, triggered by the
attempted import of a large (in this case 359.1 MB) mbox file.
Steps to reproduce:
1) Launch evolution normally.
2) Select File -> Import
3) Click "Forward"
4) Select "Import a single file"
5) Click the drop-down item marked "File:"
6) In the resulting dialog, select the offending mbox.
7) Click "Open"
After step #7, the interface will freeze for approximately 10-15 seconds,
after which evolution will terminate.
The following is written to stdout upon termination:
"
GLib-ERROR **: /build/buildd-glib2.0_2.24.1-1-i386-84Pp4V/glib2.0-2.24.1/glib/gmem.c:176: failed to allocate 536870912 bytes
aborting...
Aborted
"
The machine on which I have encountered this has plenty of free real memory
(3GB total, well over 1GB free at the time of the crash) in addition to 2GB
of unused swap, so I don't think it's an issue of resource exhaustion.
Please let me know if anything else is needed.
