Hi, I got a segfault when importing my maildir. It happened because of an old weird email, where the message-id is the following: Message-ID: <000022b17a1f$00004fbe$00000550@myrop (ew6.southwind.net [216.53.98.70]) by onyx.southwind.net from homepage.com (114.230.197.216) by newmail.spectraweb.ch from default (m202.2-25.warwick.net [ 218.242.202.80]) by host.warwick.net (8.10.0.Beta10/8.10.0.Beta10) with SMTP id e9GKEKk19201> I have absolutely no idea how it got this value, but the mail being an archived 8 years old spam, I'm not exactly sure if anyone would still expect such message id to occur. Anyways, the stack dump is the following: #0 0x00007ffff6d1e598 in Xapian::Document::add_term(std::string const&, unsigned int) () from /usr/lib/libxapian.so.15 #1 0x000000000040f5ff in _notmuch_message_add_term (message=0x0, prefix_name=0x41ad7f "tag", value=0x4191b0 "inbox") at lib/message.cc:587 #2 0x000000000040f827 in notmuch_message_add_tag (message=0x0, tag=0x4191b0 "inbox") at lib/message.cc:668 #3 0x0000000000407bc8 in tag_inbox_and_unread (message=0x0) at notmuch-new.c:44 #4 0x0000000000407f63 in add_files_recursive (notmuch=0x62cc20, path=0x832e90 "/home/mh/Maildir/saved-messages/cur", st=0x7fffffffe000, state=0x7fffffffe240) at notmuch-new.c:185 #5 0x0000000000408036 in add_files_recursive (notmuch=0x62cc20, path=0x832de0 "/home/mh/Maildir/saved-messages", st=0x7fffffffe000, state=0x7fffffffe240) at notmuch-new.c:223 #6 0x0000000000408036 in add_files_recursive (notmuch=0x62cc20, path=0x62c920 "/home/mh/Maildir", st=0x7fffffffe000, state=0x7fffffffe240) at notmuch-new.c:223 #7 0x0000000000408245 in add_files (notmuch=0x62cc20, path=0x62c920 "/home/mh/Maildir", state=0x7fffffffe240) at notmuch-new.c:287 #8 0x0000000000408704 in notmuch_new_command (ctx=0x61f140, argc=0, argv=0x7fffffffe3e8) at notmuch-new.c:431 #9 0x0000000000406ea8 in main (argc=2, argv=0x7fffffffe3d8) at notmuch.c:400 And the most likely problem is that message is NULL. Now, looking at the code, there seems to me there actually 3 problems: - _notmuch_message_create_for_message_id can return NULL, and while there is a test for it in notmuch_database_add_message, the function still returns a success code - things are still going on even when message is NULL in add_files_recursive - for some reason, xapian doesn't want to add the document corresponding to this old spam message: notmuch->xapian_db->add_document throws an exception. I can provide the spam if necessary, or can continue debugging the issue with some guidance. Cheers, Mike
