Re: [Logicmail-devel] lockup issue with 1.9.0 builds

[Chris S. <cl...@se...>]

Yeah, I'm a firm believer in eating your own dogfood.  Plus, everyone
was raving about 1.9.0 in a previous thread and there were binary builds
so I had to try it out. :-)

The first 1.9.0 build was your binary build from last week (8/26?).  My
local builds are done using ant.

I just ran my local build in the simulator and it crashes with the
unhandled exception error when LogicMail attempts to get my folder list.

I can't figure out how to copy the stack trace but essentially, it looks
something fails when ImapProtocol::executeList tries to update the
status of the MailProgressHandler.  When I commented out all of those
calls, then the app stopped crashing at that point.
