Version: 4.2.2 (using KDE 4.2.2) OS: Linux Installed from: SuSE RPMs When starting korganizer, korganizer and korgac use all the memory and a lot of swap when starting. Due to swapping starting korganizer and korgac takes several minutes on a 2x500MHz box with 512 MiB RAM. Either this problem started due to a recent update of those programs or due to an invitation (send out by korganizer 3.5.10) or event (locally) added to korganizer. When inspecting std.ics I found an area with lots of funny characters inside some VEVENT. There was an attached VCard inside some invitation with an X-LABEL field and a name using an umlaut. This umlaut, originally an a-umlaut, is erroneously repeated many times using the characters 0x8c3, 0x83, 0x8c2 and 0x82 in different orders. This entry existed long before korganizer started having problems.
Can you create a new user and open that file to see if there's a problem too?
Loading the bad std.ics by a freshly created user causes the same problem. After removing the garbage umlauts, the file shrinked from way more than 100 MB to about 39 kB. Now I can load it w/o problems. I will try one more thing: resend that invitation with the V-Card attachment and the umlaut. See if korganizer still has problems with such an invitation.
Can you provide that file? Or at least a minimum testcase so that i can reproduce this.
Created attachment 32879 [details] Corrupted std.ics by V-Card Attachment with Umlauts This is the resulting and corrupted file of the invitation with an attached V-Card. I will try to reproduce the invitation once more, to see if the current version of korganzier still corrupts std.ics accepting such an invitation.
The memory usage is explained by the huge attachment, so I don't see a bug in KOrganizer. How did you create the invitation?
(In reply to comment #5) > The memory usage is explained by the huge attachment, so I don't see a bug in > KOrganizer. The attachment wasn't as huge when it was attached to the invitation. Because the mail that was sent out was pretty small, the error must have been on the receiving side, wich was a 4.x korganizer/kmail. > How did you create the invitation? Using a 3.5.10 korganizer at work. What I normally do is, I invite myself at home when I have important meetings at the company. In this special case I attached a V-Card of the person that I had to call up the next day. I'm currently trying to reproduce a similar or even exactly the same invitation with the original V-Card used.
Could not reproduce this error since then, neither on any 3.5 version, nor any 4.x version of the PIM programs.
