Operating System is Red Hat 8.0 with kernel
2.4.18-24.8.0.

Evolution version is 1.2.3.

Description of Problem:
Updating a contact that is stored in an LDAP 
database causes evolution (the address cards 
portion anyway) to crash.

The problem really is centered around the fact 
that evolution does not properly interpret and 
parse the homePostalAddress attribute correctly.
I have imported a bunch of contacts into my LDAP
directory using the homePostalAddress so that
evolution will show the address properly.  I have
used the format specified by the RFC that says to
separate the fields with $ symbols.  evolution 
just puts the whole string including the $ 
symbols into the address1 line.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1.  Manually add an entry to the LDAP directory 
    according to the attributes specified by 
    evolution.  Note that I stored the 
    homePostalAddress according to the format 
    specified in RFC 1274 (using $ symbols 
    between fields).
2. Search for a address in evolution and double 
   click on it.
3. Correct the address in the evolution contact 
   editor.
4. When I click on save/close, the address book 
   portion of evolution crashes.

Additional Information:

Aside from the fact that this is very buggy and 
the contact editor use of the homePostalAddress 
book doesn't comply with RFC 1274, I would like 
to recommend that evolution store the address 
into the individual attributes that are common 
to other common address books (Netscape, Mozilla,
and Windows People Search/Address Book):

streetAddress: $street_address
l: $city
st: $state
postalCode: $zip_code
