[Bug 75426] Re: Crash while running offlineimap

[Stewart Smith]

The following doesn't really give me much:

$ apport-retrace -s _usr_bin_evolution-2.8.1000.crash 
--- stack trace ---
Using host libthread_db library "/lib/tls/i686/cmov/libthread_db.so.1".
--- thread stack trace ---
Using host libthread_db library "/lib/tls/i686/cmov/libthread_db.so.1".


Could this be indicative of the core dump not being complete? the info from the ProcStatus surely indicates so:
VmPeak:   695472 kB
VmSize:   659996 kB
VmLck:         0 kB
VmHWM:    328724 kB
VmRSS:    328724 kB
VmData:   377724 kB

It's only a 200MB core. It also doesn't load into GDB - it gives this error:
"/tmp/foo/CoreDump" is not a core dump: File format not recognized

Evolution routinely for me uses over 200MB of memory (current resident
portion is 288m, virt 512m) and that's only using it lightly for a few
hours. Usually about 400-500MB resident.

is there some limit somewhere preventing these types of dumps being
created properly?

If you don't think it's possible to rescue proper debug information from
this crash dump, better close the bug until next time comes along with a
proper one.
