Tomboy enters infinite loop of errors on start

[drink]

Binary package hint: tomboy

This is what I get when I try to start tomboy:

[DEBUG]: NoteManager created with note path "/home/drink/.tomboy".

Repeat ad infinitum. On ^C there is a segmentation fault.

thanks for the report, do you have any specific step for reproduce this? do you get the same with another new user account? a few steps to reproduce it would be nice to have, thanks.

Looks like it does NOT happen on a new user account.
I previously wiped out everything but the .tomboy directory, which of course
contains my notes
Looks like if I delete my .tomboy I can come up and reinitialize the system
correctly...
oho! if I delete my .tomboy/addins-db-001 the problem goes away.
attached is my bad .tomboy (sans private notes)

Got same in 9.04
Workaround from #2 solves the problem
Attaching diff from bad (addindb001~) and good (addindb001), made by
find /home/mc-scrat/.tomboy/addin-db-001~/ -type f | xargs cat > addindb001~
Hope it helps solving the trouble

diff from broken and working $(find /home/mc-scrat/.tomboy/addin-db-001~/ -type f | xargs cat > addindb001~)
