I'm trying to help with getting a backtrace on the bug to which your
helpful email below refers. I'd love to see this bug cleared!
I've followed http://wiki.debian.org/?HowToGetABacktrace
building and installing mozilla-calendar and its build-deps. Whew!
I'm no gdb expert. The gnome menu command that launches mozilla-calendar is
mozilla-suite -calendar
and
/usr/bin/mozilla-suite
is a shell script that sets up the complex mozilla environment and
(somehow) runs the relevant program.
Following your instructions,
$ MALLOC_CHECK_=2 gdb mozilla-suite
gives me the error:
...This GDB was configured as "x86_64-linux"..."/usr/bin/mozilla-suite":
not in executable format: File format not recognized
(presumably because it's a shell script)
How do I get the required backtrace?
NB for your info:
- mozilla-calendar on my AMD64 segfaults immediately on startup
- I'm using up-to-date etch, and the mozilla-calendar version is
2:1.7.8-1sarge2 (so if I understand your question, this is NOT a
regression - the bug is there in 2:1.7.8-1sarge2)
If you can get me over this hurdle to get a backtrace, I'll post it to
you and the bug-report, and then offer to try again with the
mozilla-calendar version in unstable (if I must - I don't want to drag
too much in from unstable).
Thanks,
Barry

Is this a regression over version 2:1.7.8-1sarge2 in testing?
If yes, please provide a backtrace of the crash as explained at:
