Bug Description

I've been importing some emails from Thunderbird to Evolution. I have the mbox file from Thunderbird, but it's caused several segmentation faults. At first I believed that this was happening because of the size of the file (~2.5GB), so I began cutting it up into smaller chunks. I eventually realized that, since some of the chunks would import correctly, regardless of size, that the problem was something else.

I'm still not sure what's causing the Segmentation Fault, but this single email cannot be imported into Evolution. I'm attaching the mbox file for this email (with some information redacted).

I'm certain that there were other emails that caused this problem too, but I have not isolated them yet.

1) Description: Ubuntu 11.10 Release: 11.10

2) evolution:
  Installed: 3.2.2-0ubuntu0.1
  Candidate: 3.2.2-0ubuntu0.1
  Version table:
 *** 3.2.2-0ubuntu0.1 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric-updates/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     3.2.0-0ubuntu2 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric/main amd64 Packages

3) What I expected: emails to be imported

4) What happened instead: evolution crashed with the message "Segmentation fault (core dumped)"

thanks!

Sunil
