[Bug 38599] Evolution crashes on startup in gdb

[David Chart]

Public bug reported:

Affects: evolution (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
Dapper current. Starting evolution in gdb (with 'run evolution') gives
an immediate segfault:

Starting program: /usr/bin/evolution evolution

This rather limits my ability to provide any *other* backtraces.

Note that evolution starts just fine from outside gdb.
