Comment 1 André Klapper 2008-08-10 18:31:46 UTC
Thanks for taking the time to report this bug.
Unfortunately, the stack trace is missing some elements that will help a lot to solve the problem, so it will be hard for the developers to fix that crash.

Could you please help fixing this by installing some debugging packages [1], start the application as normal, and try to reproduce the crash, if possible?

Once bug-buddy pops up, you can find the stacktrace in the 'Details', now containing way more information. Please copy that stacktrace and paste it as a comment here. Thanks in advance!

[1] Please install debug packages for evolution, evolution-data-server, gtkhtml, gtk, glib, gnome-vfs, pango, libgnome and libgnomeui (as far as those packages are provided by your distribution).

More details can be found here: http://live.gnome.org/GettingTraces
Comment 2 fdp 2008-08-10 19:58:15 UTC
I realized that I only get the crash when I have evolution-rss installed. Otherwise the program quits normally. But here is the new stack trace:
