What we are seeing in mutt is a segfault if IMAP fails to allocate memory,
the corefile is attached to the original debian bug
It seems that mutt is not aware that the IMAP server closed the connection
with:
* BYE [ALERT] Fatal error: Cannot allocate memory
the stack trace is
{{{
#0 0x080dbda4 in imap_sync_mailbox (ctx=0x83165a0, expunge=1,
index_hint=0xbf8c6bd0) at ../../imap/imap.c:1124
#1 0x0808e349 in mx_close_mailbox (ctx=0x83165a0, index_hint=0xbf8c6bd0)
at ../mx.c:1053
#2 0x08065177 in mutt_index_menu () at ../curs_main.c:1143
#3 0x08082048 in main (argc=1, argv=0xbf8c75f4) at ../main.c:1005
}}}
in imap_sync_mailbox() the idata struct contains a ctx field which is 0x0
and when, at imap/imap.c:1125, this is done:
{{{
if (expunge && mutt_bit_isset (idata->ctx->rights, M_ACL_DELETE))
}}}
mutt crashes because idata->ctx == 0
(pls note that I cannot attach the corefile because it's too big)
Cheers
Antonio
