Hi

I have a prior bug report re: not being able to update contacts in Kontact https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/275314

Over the weekend I did a distribution update to intrepid. Now neither Kontact or Korganizer will start. Korganizer is in the tray, but will not start.

Application: KDE Daemon (kded4), signal SIGSEGV

Reassigning to someone who knows KDirWatch.

(Flavio: how about using flavio@castelli.name in kde-common/accounts? ;-)
Comment 2 Christoph Feck 2009-12-04 03:05:00 UTC 
SVN commit 1058169 by cfeck:

Fix broken reading in inotifyEventReceived

Multiple bugs:
* MAX_PATH is 4096 on linux, but inotify_event needs some bytes as well
* the "pending" variable was incorrectly abused to mean both pending
    bytes in buffer as well as pending bytes in stream
* the offset was not reset to zero when the next chunk was reading
* when an event was larger than what was available in buffer, it was reading
    beyond the buffer boundaries

Many thanks to David for review and help with improving clarity of the code.

David, please test for regressions, maybe add a test which changes
some 1000 files in one go.
