Package: mozilla-calendar
Version: 2:1.7.13-0.3
Severity: normal

hi

after a recent upgrade, every attempt at using mozilla-calendar has
resulted (sooner or later) in a segfault. I will skip details of
all attempts I did in latest 2 days, and simply jump to the simplest
conclusion.

How to reproduce in the most reproducible way possible (AFAIK):

1) close mozilla and firefox (and check that they are closed with 'ps x')
2) $ mv .mozilla .mozilla-save-me
3) check that there are no .netscape dirs around, in case, move them away 
 as before
4) $ mozilla-suite -calendar
5) select "new event" ; fill it in any way, hit enter
6) segmentation fault


I attach also a version of mozilla-suite that wraps
all calls to the binary with gdb  (it may be useful
also for bug 293962) ; but gdb was not able
to provide a sensible backtrace (all I could get out of it
 was "NSGetModule" )

a.

ps:
of course you may want to also do
7) $ mv .mozilla  .mozilla-empty-for-test
8) $ mv .mozilla-save-me  .mozilla
before you use mozilla/firefox for real again  :-)
