Description

This happened just after I connected. I don't know exactly what caused it.
Smuxi version is 0.8.11.54.ga1b65be-1.

I just had this crash again and Smuxi had this error 0,5 to 2 seconds before it crashed. It might therefore be related to the crash cause.

That issue was related to my hwclock not set to the correct time and my system using ntpd to keep the time. What caused the crash was, that after my system started, the system time was ~6-8 hours lagging behind the real time. When ntpd synchronized the system clock to the source, the time changed by that large amount and that somehow not only made smuxi fail, but also the watchdog of my system. I think you can close this ticket.

Thanks for the update. Even though your clock got screwed up, Smuxi shouldn't crash in this way. From the stack trace the crash happened when syncing a group chat. I will look into potentional race conditions.
