Other information:
Looks like a bug in gtkhtml. May need to be reassigned ??

Removing the .evolution directory provides temporary relief.

Comment 1 André Klapper 2006-04-05 16:45:19 UTC

Hi Simon, which distro is this? Debian?

*If* you are using Debian testing/unstable:
This is a known Debian issue, due to the glib update. Please see bug 336767 for
more information. A fast workaround is to start Evolution with this env
variable set, until fixed packages are available:

$ G_SLICE=always-malloc evolution

Also, please check that Evo and its friends (evolution, e-d-s,
evolution-plugins, libsoup, gtkhtml, etc.) are the latest version available,
and do have matching version numbers (including the debian package version).

Hi Andre,

Yes this is Debian testing. My apologies for the duplicate. This can now be closed.
