Version details: Evolution 2.2.1.1
Distribution/Version: Ubuntu 5.04 "Hoary Hedgehog"

I attached a photo of dimensions 1536x2048 (189.5KB) to a contact record
in Evolution. When I clicked [ok] to save the contact, the cpu usage
shot up, and while I could still select and view email in evolution, the
window containing the contact being edited was not responding. 

Add to that, I killed evolution and Evolution-data-server was still
there using a lot of cpu.

Since two things have been really strange:

1- when I view the contacts screen, cpu usage shoots up to 100% while
Evolution tries to display all my contacts. Until then, some names are
unavailable. 
2- when I try to select the contact with the large photo, evolution
hangs and cpu usage stays at 100%. 

According to top, evolution is using the available 90 - 94% cpu

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Create a contact in the evolution address book. 
2. Add a large photo to that contact. No smaller than 1536x2048
3. Hit [ok] to save the contact. 

Actual Results:
 - You can't view the contact with the large photo or select it. At
all.

Expected Results:
 - resize the photo to an acceptable size. or reject it as being too
large. 

How often does this happen?
 - I'm afraid to try it again because I can't even get to delete the
contact.

Additional Information:
Some documentation on how to access the addressbook data, outside of
evolution and evolution related tools would be nice. 
e.g. A nice little tutorial explaining how one could manipulate the
addressbook.db file using Python and pybsddb
