           Summary: segfault due to some (corrupted) entry in the akonadi
                    database
           Product: korganizer
           Version: 4.2.0
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: crash
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: korganizer-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: christophe.delaere at gmail.com


Version:            (using KDE 4.2.0)
Compiler:          gcc version 4.3.2 20081105 (Red Hat 4.3.2-7) (GCC) 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

It all started when I added attachments to an appointment in korganizer (via
kontact), after I received a mail related to it.
I added:
- one pdf
- a second pdf
- the mail containing both pdf as attachment.

Then, kontact crashed... and I was unable to restart it. The backtrace
indicated that it was crashing when decoding the attachments bith libical... in
some toString method.

The only solution I found was to 
- first identify the faulty entry in the database with the akonadi console
- then open the database directly with mysql, and delete the entry by hand.
Even the akonadi console was crashing when trying to read the faulty entry, so
I could not delete it directly from there.

The entry removed, I could restart kontact without problem.

(akonadi is configured to use the internal mysql server.)

Sorry, I lost the backtrace, and I really don't want to try to reproduce it...
I only have my production system and recovery was tricky.
I made a sql dump, so I can provide by the INSERT statement to put the entry in
the akonadi database... since it contains some personal data I will only do it
on request by mail.
