don't ever post this thing again unless someone explicitly asks for it. please
try finding a talkback build.

Ashley, could you please verify if this is also happening in current Sunbird
nightly builds

--> http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/calendar/sunbird/nightly/

Sunbird 0.2 is pretty old by now and a lot of development has happened since. It
would also be good if you could attach the calendar file, so that others could
try to reproduce this.

Ok i upgraded to the nightly of July 13 JST, bacisally did a cut and paste of
all the files...

version now reads;
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a5) Gecko/20050111 Mozilla
Sunbird/0.2RC2

yep crash is stil there... i will post up the ics that i copy from...

Attachment: the ICal file

Damn.. this might have been cause be me! 

Im am using the Tie:ICal perl module to create the calandar automatically from
emails that i recieve from a calander system called Cybozu. It looks like
Tie::Ical is poorly implemented, and it recreates the BEGIN:/END:VCALENDER
items for each entry!

The idea can be extended to Outlook email noticiations... i will post the perl
and fix bad the module and then see what happen's

You didn't grab the right nightly build if this is your version ID.  It should
read something like:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a5) Gecko/20050713 Mozilla
Sunbird/0.2+

hmmm... ok..... 

version is now... (from last night 13th July...)
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b3) Gecko/20050713 Mozilla
Sunbird/0.2+

1) i cant open *ANY* existing iCal files... the debug info indicated;
JavaScript error: chrome://calendar/content/calendar.xul, line 1:
gCalendarWindow.calendarManager.launchOpenCalendarFileDialog is not a function

2) i can create new iCals... but when i insert *ANY* event it asserts
ASSERTION attempt to remove an element that was never added:'hep != nsnull &&
*hep != nsnull', file
c:\builds/tinderbox/sb-trunk/WINNT_5.2_Depend/mozilla/content/xul/document/src/nsElementMap.cpp,
lin 281

3) but the event gets made ... when i copy it nothing goes the the clipboard at
*ALL*... i get 
JavaScript error: chrome://calendar/content/importExport.js, line 1362:
calendarEvent.start has no properties

Somehow i dont think this is related to my other error... ;)

Good.

Correct.  Try using 'Import' for basic importing of ical files, but don't expect
all the data to be moved.  (Nightly builds are unstable.)

This is bug 300250.  If you wouldn't mind keeping an eye on that bug, it should
hopefully be fixed soon.  Then, testing this again would be greatly appreciated.  

Leaving as 'Unconfirmed' for now.

Ashley,
Sunbird 0.3 has been released now [http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/].
Please test if Sunbird still crashes on your system. 
In case of crash please post the corresponding Talkback Incident IDs.

I am using the latest nightly build of the Trunk, and I encounter no problems. No errors occur when all of the steps are done and nothing shows up in the "error console".
