What were you doing when the application crashed? I'd just started Evolution. It started up in offline mode, then crashed immediately while doing two things: "Generating message list" and Formatting message" Distribution: Ubuntu 6.10 (edgy) Gnome Release: 2.16.0 2006-09-04 (Ubuntu) BugBuddy Version: 2.16.0 Memory status: size: 180453376 vsize: 0 resident: 180453376 share: 0 rss: 65032192 rss_rlim: 0 CPU usage: start_time: 1157959206 rtime: 0 utime: 834 stime: 0 cutime:778 cstime: 0 timeout: 56 it_real_value: 0 frequency: 0 Backtrace was generated from '/usr/bin/evolution-2.8' Using host libthread_db library "/lib/tls/i686/cmov/libthread_db.so.1".

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. Could also be a gtk+ issue according to stacktrace.
Thanks for your quick reply. Here's a stack trace from gdb including debugging symbols: (gdb) run Starting program: /usr/bin/evolution [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled] [New Thread -1232869712 (LWP 6041)] CalDAV Eplugin starting up ...

Thanks for the good stacktrace, David. :) According to the crashing Thread 1 in the last stacktrace, this actually is a duplicate of bug 353430. Thanks for the bug report. This particular bug has already been reported into our bug tracking system, but please feel free to report any further bugs you find. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 353430 ***
Also, since Evo crashed on start for you: David, if you need some pointers how to get out of a crashing loop, just poke me. I already added some short notes and a link to a few bugs recently, outlining this. :)
