Package: bug-buddy
Version: 2.4.2-1
Severity: normal

When starting up bug-buddy while not connected to the internet,
it takes a long time to start up (ca. 40 seconds).

Running gdb at that time and getting a backtrace yields:
#0  0xffffe410 in __kernel_vsyscall ()
#1  0x408098c3 in __read_nocancel () from /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libpthread.so.0
#2  0x4027dff9 in gnome_vfs_inet_connection_get_fd ()
   from /usr/lib/libgnomevfs-2.so.0
#3  0x40290f22 in gnome_vfs_socket_read () from /usr/lib/libgnomevfs-2.so.0
#4  0x402908bc in gnome_vfs_socket_buffer_destroy ()
   from /usr/lib/libgnomevfs-2.so.0
#5  0x402909df in gnome_vfs_socket_buffer_read ()
   from /usr/lib/libgnomevfs-2.so.0
#6  0x40f31b68 in ?? () from /usr/lib/gnome-vfs-2.0/modules/libhttp.so

which appears to be some connection bug-buddy tries to make to the internet,
but which times out.

This is extremely annoying because everytime I want to use bug-buddy I
have to wait 40 seconds for it to start up.

Whatever bug-buddy is doing (updating its product list?) should probably
be done asynchronously or in another thread, so that the GUI starts up.
Older versions of bug-buddy had a "cancel"-button to abort network connections
(which never worked right for me, but thats another thing) that would
be very useful in the current bug-buddy as well.

Hi everyone,

As your bug reports were filed against bug-buddy 2.4.x and I am no
longer able reproduce them using bug-buddy 2.6 which is now in both
testing and unstable, I've decided to close your reports.

Feel free to reopen them if you still have problems, but please provide
updated debugging information.

Yours sincerely,
Andrew Lau
