evolution crashes when composing a message pressing space

[doclist]

Binary package hint: evolution

When composing a message as soon as I hit space evolution crashes. Backtrace attached. It seems to be a problem with spell checking being triggered.

I think I see the same bug with kmail: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=212890
I'll try to get enchant with debug symbols installed.

Karmic/AMD64 after adding the spell, ispell, American dict packages, evolution exhibits the crash in composing when a word break is first typed. Removing the spelling packages is a workaround for the problem. Maybe turning off spell checking as you type will also workaround the problem. This has been reported upstream as a Debian bug (568129) on libenchant1c2a. Lets hope it's fixed for Lucid.

sudo apt-get purge spell ispell wamerican

Removing these packages allowed me to open pidgin. Also setting LANG=C worked.

Could somebody try if that's still an issue in lucid?

[doclist (dclist)]

Seems fine now in Lucid for me.

32 bit Lucid is OK for me. The spell packages no longer kill composition.
