364929 - "Unable to Load Address Book File" while TB is idle

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 364795

(Thunderbird :: Address Book, defect)

Description

[Tim K]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727)
Build Identifier: version 1.5.0.9 (20061207)

If I start TB and access the address book, everything is fine. However, if I leave TB idle, after a while I see a window with the error message "Unable to Load Address Book File" and after I click OK, TB either crashes or if it doesn't crash I can't access my address book (I have 3 address books, only the "Collected Addresses" will show up).

*** I have never seen this problem before my upgrade to 1.5.0.9 ***

I don't think anything else changed on my computer. I'm not sure what may be locking the abook file as I don't run a desktop search program and I've been using the same Avast AV for the past few months.

I tried running Unlocker on abook.mab and abook-1.mab files but it doesn't show any applications locking the files.

Any way to debug this and provide more information?

See attached screenshot.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start TB
2. Leave TB and the computer idle
3. Error message will randomly appear

Could this have anything to do with the memory leak reported here:

Same problem reported in this bug:

One will have to be dup'ed to the other.

Are you running a proxy server of any kind? Are you using the default theme?

Default theme, SOCKS proxy for all outgoing connections.
