Claws Mail version 3.14.0-39-g986e6f-dirty
Windows 10 PRO, ver 1607, OS Build 14393.187
64 bit machine

I have been experiencing crashes with this version of claws-mail ever since I
loaded the vcalendar.dll module. Claws-mail would crash sometimes immediately
when loading; other times hours later. Sometimes I would be working with it and
other times I would be away from the PC. I finally ran claws-mail under gdb and
this is what got back:

(gdb) quit
A debugging session is active.

        Inferior 1 [process 15556] will be killed.

Quit anyway? (y or n) y

I had to kill “gdb” in order to shut claws-mail down. I then restarted
claws-mail. As usual after this type of crash, it would immediately crash
again. I had to restart it many times before it would finally stay loaded. I
have discovered that if I quickly “X” out of the program immediately as it
starts and they hit "quit" in the pop-up window, claws-mail will sometimes stay
running or at least start up normally the next time. Very strange to say the
least.

I have now unloaded the “vcalendar.dll” module and all is well. The system has
been running for 24 hours without a problem. I believe that there is an
inherent problem with the vcalendar.dll module and Windows 10 PRO.
