empathy crashed with SIGSEGV in tp_contact_list_got_added_members_cb()

StacktraceTop:tp_contact_list_got_added_members_cb (factory=0x9f92800,
get_contacts_by_handle_cb (connection=0x9e1d5e8,

Thank you for your bug report, it has been sent on https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=594908

Looking at the trace, EmpathyTpContactListPriv seems to be wrong. One
explanation could be that the callback has been called after the TpContactList
has been disposed; but that shouldn't happen as the contact list is passed as a
weak object to tp_connection_get_contacts_by_handle.
Any chance you could reproduce this crash with logs? (EMPATHY_DEBUG=all)

A memory corruption could be another explanation, in which case we'll need
valgrind logs.

It started OK this time around with one of the four accounts I had in there. I added the suspect one from last time and it crashed straight away. The debug logs from empathy are attached.

tghe bug has been fixed upstream now

the bug is fixed in karmic now

there is a new duplicate looking similar

This bug will be fixed in 2.28.1

Any chance of getting it sooner, this happens on startup, so empathy is effectively unusable for me as a result of this.

This bug was fixed in the package empathy - 2.28.1-1ubuntu1
