claws-mail deadlocking in iconv

Wed Oct 9 16:46:02 UTC 2013

After the iconv import claws-mail started to deadlock in iconv every now
and then on my system, which prevented claws-mail from rendering windows
or reacting to input.

So far I haven't been able to reproduce this intentionally and various
rebuilds of ports, kernel and userland (mainly for other reasons) had
no effect.

When the problem occurs, trying to attach to the process causes
gdb and gdb76 to crash which also crashes claws-mail, but sending
SIGABRT causes a proper core dump that can be analysed with gdb.

The backtraces always show that there is only one thread running and
it's trying to lock cm_lock in _citrus_mapper_close(), which apparently
is already locked due to a _citrus_mapper_close() recursion. Examples:

This patch:
http://www.fabiankeil.de/sourcecode/freebsd/iconv-Let-_citrus_mapper_close-unlock-cm_lock-before-calli.diff
seems to prevent the deadlock, but I'm not 100% sure that it's correct and
I'm also a bit surprised by the lack of reports from other claws-mail users.

Did anyone else run into this or can comment on the patch or
the backtraces?

Fabian
