Bug Description

Binary package hint: evolution

After connection to a Windows exchange server I went to Calendar, at which point evolution hung, and I forcefully killed it. Now when I start the program it starts in the Calendar (and keeps giving error messages about not being able to connect to the server), and when I click on Mail it crashes with a coredump. The following is printed:

*** glibc detected *** evolution: realloc(): invalid pointer: 0x00007feffe590a50 ***

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, your crash report is either missing or challenging to deal with as a ".crash" file. Please follow these instructions to have apport report a new bug about your crash that can be dealt with by the automatic retracer.

If you are running the Ubuntu Stable Release you might need to enable apport in /etc/default/apport and restart.

If you are using Ubuntu with the Gnome desktop environment - launch nautilus and navigate to your /var/crash directory and double click on the crash report you wish to submit.
If you are using Kubuntu or Xubuntu you can file the crash using /usr/share/apport/apport-qt --crash-file=/var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash in a terminal - where _my_crash_report.crash is the crash you would like to report.

I'm closing this bug report since the process outlined above will automatically open a new bug report which can then dealt with more efficiently. Thanks in advance for your cooperation and understanding.
