293842 - sunbird sometimes writes WAV file to stdout

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 340314

(Calendar :: Sunbird Only, defect)

Description

[Jamie Zawinski]

Sometimes, instead of playing a beep when an alarm goes off, Sunbird spits a
24KB WAV file of that beep to stdout.  I suspect someone is not checking the
return value on open() or something.

Sunbird 0.2, Fedora Core 3.

Even worse, twice now I've had Sunbird write WAV data into a .ics file!

Most recently, it blew away the last half of the last event (starting a few
bytes into the "LOCATION" field) resulting in an unparsable file with no
END:VCALENDAR line.

Sunbird 0.2.  (Will there ever be a 0.3?  One can only dream.)

We're now using the same code as Thunderbird does for new mail.  If you can reproduce this in 0.3a2 please re-file in the Core component.

Just for reference: This bug might be a "dupe" of Bug 340314...
