gecko-bugreport.txt generated with crash described

Description of problem:

Thunderbird crashes with attached gecko bugreport while using lightning extension. It is reproducable with certain existing events but also happened when exporting the calendar to an ICS file.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

[settle ~/] 4% rpm -q thunderbird thunderbird-lightning
thunderbird-2.0.0.18-1.fc10.i386
thunderbird-lightning-0.9-3.fc10.i386

How reproducible:

Open a specific event in my calendar to edit. not all events, just some. Also happened this morning when exporting one calendar to an ICS file.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open thunderbird and switch to calendar mode
2. select file->export calendar, select calendar, press Ok.
3. choose file name and location, select iCalendar format, press "save"
4. crash

Actual results:

crash with attached gecko-bugreport.txt file.

Expected results:

save the file in iCalendar format and return to program.

Additional info:

exporting to an HTML file doesn't cause the same crash.

gecko-bugreport.txt generated with crash after editing an event

This gecko-bugreport.txt file was generated after editing an event and closing the window with the window manager close button. not all events cause the crash but there isn't anything special about the event that does cause the crash.

[Lubomir (lubomir-redhat-bugs)]

It's probably either ICAL with unsupported features or broken; but libical definitely shouldn't abort here anyways. I'm building a replacement package with aborts on such conditions disabled.

Until it builds -- could you please install debugging symbols ("yum install yum-utils; debuginfo-install libical sunbird") and reproduce the problem again? We'd get a backtrace that would let us know more to find out what's wrong with your calendar.

Thanks!

[Lubomir (lubomir-redhat-bugs)]

This is the package where the fatal aborts should be disabled, so you will probably see an error message in thunderbird, but no crash:

since i haven't installed any debug packages yet this will be a ~176MB download to get installed. if this will still be useful i can do it when i have better connectivity tomorrow. please let me know.

i just uploaded the gecko-bugreport.txt after the crash with debuginfo rpms (and dependencies) installed.

also, i note that the libical and libical-debuginfo mentioned at:

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1023481

are earlier versions than those from current fedora 10 repos:

in koki:

libical-0.32-1.fc10.nofatalerr1.i386.rpm
libical-debuginfo-0.32-1.fc10.nofatalerr1.i386.rpm

from fedora 10 repos:

libical-0.41-1.fc10.i386
libical-debuginfo-0.41-1.fc10.i386

FYI

Much thanks for that. I still see no backtrace there. Please check if you have gdb installed. If not, please install it and reproduce the problem again. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Right; I did not notice that. I'll promptly rebuild newer packages.

i do have gdb installed:

[host ~/] 65% which gdb
/usr/bin/gdb

i just ran it again from the command-line and the following came up when it crashed this time: ( i should have thought to check .xsession-errors - it was there as well from the previous crash. )

also, just in case, i'll upload the gecko-bugreport.txt file from this run.

i see the newer packages so will install those and run again.

Which packages are this? The custom built ones?

Anyways, unfortunately the bug reports don't contain a backtrace. Let's see if we can get it somehow:

Could you please run thunderbird as follows:
$ thunderbird -g -d gdb

Issue a "c" command at the (gdb) prompt and then issue a "thread apply all bt" command once thunderbird crashes? Please attach the output here.

that report came from the original f10 packages - not the new custom built ones.

i installed the custom built packages and, as i'm sure you'd hoped, it doesn't crash any longer. how would you like me to proceed? i can roll back to the previous f10 shipped packages and rerun with the above commands if you'd like.

just let me know what would help best.

[Lorenco Trichardt (trichalo)]

I am seeing a hangup on accepting meeting notices as well from e-mail (Maybe related?)

[Chris Coulson (chrisccoulson)]

Thank you for your bug report. This looks like a crash in libical, so I'm reassigning. Incidentally, Fedora users are experiencing this too

[Chris Coulson (chrisccoulson)]

Hmmmm, those other distro reports might have slightly different causes, although libical probably shouldn't abort. Please try to obtain a backtrace following the instructions at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash and upload the backtrace (as an attachment) to the bug report. This will greatly help us in tracking down your problem.

[Lorenco Trichardt (trichalo)]

Attached isa backtrace.

** Changed in: libical (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Incomplete

[Chris Coulson (chrisccoulson)]

Your backtraces are both different, although the end result is the same (the error handler icalerror_set_errno aborts), the errors that lead to icalerror_set_errno being called are both different.

Bug 331567 is also due to this function aborting, but is caused by yet another error.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

evolution upstreams said to reassign to evolution

This gecko-bugreport.txt file generats often while watching YouTube for example and closing the window with the window manager close button. not all internet sites cause the crash but it happens sometimes.

[Lubomir (lubomir-redhat-bugs)]

This was fixed in more recent libical packages.

This is still affecting Fedora EPEL :-(
