Bug#999358: libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37: Upgrade from 2.30.1-1~bpo10+1 to 2.34.1-1~deb10u1 crashes evolution with "std::bad_alloc"

Dear Berto,

first, sorry for me replying this late!

Yes, it happens always.

The repo you mentioned does only contain "libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37-dbgsym"
of old version "2.32.4-1~deb10u1" which depends on "libwebkit2gtk-4.0-
37" with the >>very same old version<<.

But the current problematic [buster security] version of
"libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37" is version "2.34.1-1~deb10u1".
I don't know of any repo containing dbg symbols for version "2.34.1-
1~deb10u1".

> If you can send me a backtrace with gdb I'd appreciate it.

Just I see the exception is comming out of "libjavascriptcoregtk"
instead of "libwebkit2gtk", but anyway the problem remains:
Here the backtrace follows ...

Hello, I'm trying here with Evolution 3.30.5 and webkitgtk
2.34.1-1~deb10u1 and I cannot reproduce the crash.

Does it always happen, or do you have a way to reproduce it?

If you can send me a backtrace with gdb I'd appreciate it. Better if
you can install the debug packages from this repository:

deb http://debug.mirrors.debian.org/debian-debug/ buster-debug main

Thanks!
