I have now tried to enter the appointment again, and Evolution crashed again. It seems that at least on my laptop (Fedora 4, updated as of Feb 15, 2006), this bug is 100% reproducible. So far, I have found a workaround to enter the date manually and avoid using the drop-down calendar. Still, while moving around the Recurrence dialog box, Evolution had several times overwritten the date I entered with the current date. Eventually, I succeeded to enter the appointment as intended this way.
