[Evolution] Bug#325571: Evolution crashes on startup

[David Hugh-Jones]

Package: evolution
Version: 2.2.2-4
Severity: grave

Evolution crashes after startup and gives the usual Gnome crash dialog. 

This first happened after allowing evolution 2.2 to delete my old
evolution folders. Now it happens whenever I start evolution.

Here's the output from "gdb evolution" (just the ordinary binary, HTH;
I have replaced repeated "(no debugging symbols found)" with "..."):
