trackerd crashed with SIGSEGV in do_save_ondisk_email_message_for_imap

[Anders Magnusson]

Binary package hint: tracker

trackerd keeps crashing. The last message that I get before it crashes is:

saving email service 12 with uri "email://1138733807.10188.16@xxxx/INBOX/xxxx/xxxx/xxxx/xxxx;uid=14" and subject "häftpistol på rymmen !!" from "<email address hidden>"

I saw that there was a report for another crash in do_save_ondisk_email_message_for_imap (#130854), but that was supposed to be fixed in 0.6.1. I'm using version:
Tracker version 0.6.3 Copyright (c) 2005-2007 by Jamie McCracken (<email address hidden>)

Please let me know if you need anything else. I have the core dump if you'll need that.

[Jamie McCracken (jamiemcc-blueyonder)]

pls send core dump to <email address hidden>

[Michal Pryc (migi) (michal-pryc)]

I was trying to reproduce this bug on:
- Ubuntu 7.10 with Tracker version 0.6.3
- Solaris Nevada build 76 (x86) with Tracker version 0.6.3 and also never build from trunk-980

but I couldn't reproduce it.

Can you please write more about conditions on which you have hit this problem?
Also can you try to re-index e-mails and tell if you have still this problem?

[Anders Magnusson (d98.ama)]

I did a re-index (trackerd -v 2 -s 1 -R), but it still crashes on the same e-mail message as before.

I took a look at this specific e-mail (since it crashes on the same e-mail every time), and I noticed that it has 1117(!) recipients in the CC filed. Maybe that has something to do with it?

Other than that I couldn't find anything strange.

[Jamie McCracken (jamiemcc-blueyonder)]

Yes thats it!

we limit ours to 255 - I guess we need to make sure we dont exceed that limit

[Emilio Pozuelo Monfort (pochu)]

Yes, a check looks like the way to go.

[Jamie McCracken (jamiemcc-blueyonder)]

this should be fixed in 0.6.4

Can someone confirm?

[Emilio Pozuelo Monfort (pochu)]

All the duplicates are reported with 0.6.3.

I don't use Evolution, so I can't check this. I'll leave it open for a while and close it if we don't get any report with 0.6.4.

[Emilio Pozuelo Monfort (pochu)]

Closing as there has been no report about this in more than 3 weeks.

Got a crash in the same function today, probably dupe so now it happened again:
