What were you doing when the application crashed? Closing evolution.

Thanks for the bug report. Unfortunately, that stack trace is not very useful in determining the cause of the crash. Can you get us one with debugging symbols? Please see http://live.gnome.org/GettingTraces for more information on how to do so.
Created attachment 71855 [details] Trace With some debug packages. Do you need more?
hmm, the evolution parts indeed are better now, but unfortunately not the crasher part which still only contains
+ Trace 71212
Created attachment 71869 [details] New trace Does this look better? Installed libc6-dbg too.
sorry for coming back that late to you. no, unfortunately that trace isn't better. is this still an issue currently? perhaps this was a duplicate of bug 334966, which is fixed now?
No, it's certainly not fixed. The problem is that the backtrace is entirely different each time, so I guess this is a subtle overflow somewhere, that triggers different backtraces depending on memory layout or some such. It's still 100% repeatable for me. I'm now running Ubuntu edgy. I'd be happy to rebuild the ubuntu package with any relevant modifications if that is a way to help trace this bug. By the way, a collegue has the exact same crash, so I'm not alone.
please install the dbg packages of evolution, evolution-data-server, gtkhtml, glib and gtk. thanks. :-)

strange, the stacktrace is still not useful. i have no idea how to deal with this here, sorry - perhaps a developer has an idea?
Note that the backtrace begins with
+ Trace 86108
which is NULL - cannot be a correct address...
