2.5.67-mm4: select-speedup.patch breaks Evolution
Quoted 7 lines · Felipe Alfaro Solana
2.5.67-mm4 breaks Evolution 1.2.3: when clicking on "Sending/Receiving" toolbar button, Evolution displays the progress dialog box but it hangs forever, that is, no mail is sent or received. All my accounts are POP3.
Reverting "select-speedup.patch" fixes the problem.
This isn't localised to Evolution. KDE 3.2 (CVS) will not get past the "Initialising peripherals" stage, for whatever reason.
Backing out this patch does indeed help, thanks for the hint. It would have taken me a while to isolate it, as I can't imagine what KDE's doing with sys_select()..
Cheers,
Alistair.
