[Bug 338951] [NEW] Subscribe to http://....ics file causes endless loop (apparently)

[Chris]

Public bug reported:

What I'm doing and expecting:

I'm subscribing to an .ics file that has been provided readonly from
Zimbra. I'm expecting Sunbird to import the calendar items any time the
calendar is refreshed (which is currently set to the default value of
every 30 minutes).

What happens instead:

Sunbird seems to perform an "endless loop" (as a programmer would call
it). This happens in a way, that one of my 4 processors is working at
100 % load, while the Sunbird window doesn't respond to any mouse action
instead of window movement, the latter without any refresh of the window
content. This is reproducable, I tried to delete the profile files in
the "$HOME/.mozilla/sunbird/" folder many times and re-subscribe again.
One time I waited more than 50 minutes without any further reaction from
the application.

The .ics file is 150 KB of size, if downloaded.

Sunbird is running properly without any subscription set.

Application: Sunbird 0.7
Package: 0.7+nobinonly-0ubuntu2 + sunbird-locale-de (0.7-ubuntu1)
OS: Ubuntu Linux 8.04
Window-Manager: KDE 3.5.10


If you have any further questions or ideas what I can try, please let me know.
