Lotus Notes 6.5.1 Forum

I'm not so sure this is a crossover problem, but it didn't fail on Windows so I'm assuming it is.

I have a rather large mail database. Since I have such a large amount of mail and I use it all the time for reference, I synchronize it to my laptop for offline perusal and do a replication on regular basis. If I start a replication and have to stop it at some point during the replication the local mail database will crash Notes. This is 6.5.1 from January of 2004.

The same procedure can be performed on several machines with identical results. I've got a Fedora Core 2 Test 3 machine, a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 machine, and SuSE 9.0 machine. All exhibit the same behavior.

When notes crashes NSD leaves a log. The log says that there are a bunch of DLL's that are missing (File not found). I can post the log if necessary, but didn't know how useful it would be here, although most of the DLL's look like windows DLL's not Lotus ones.

Just a note: The DLL's that I'm talking about aren't the "Required DLL's" in the Known Issues section.

Hi Chris,

The problem we've got with Notes is that it tries to debug itself when it crashes. Our debugging code isn't in the right DLLs for it to be able to do that, so it produces a relatively useless log.

One of the WineHQ guys is working on fixing that but it'll be some time. For now then the only way to get a useful log is to attach to it with the debugger and get a backtrace manually.

Unfortunately neither releases nor nightlies are unstripped, so that backtrace would be fairly useless too :)

So for now we're a bit stuck. Probably the simplest thing to do is for us to get unstripped nightly builds up, which I'm going to bug Jer about soon. Then you can try with a nightly and when it crashes get a useful trace we can start debugging from.

I'd try and reproduce this myself but it sounds awfully complicated for somebody who isn't really a Notes user, and besides I've been re-allocated to work for a big corporate client :/

I think the best bet on my mail issues is actually a corrupted mail database. During replication with Windows yesterday it crashed the domino server. Luckily this is my personal server and I'm the only user.

The good news is I think it's not a Crossover problem.

Time to reinstall Domino, in a new place, create a new file, copy the documents over, and try again.

This is the reason I have a server installed on my desktop in the first place.
