[Evolution] Bug#406444: evolution-data-server: Regular crashes in the LDAP backend

[Josselin Mouette]

Package: evolution-data-server
Version: 1.6.3-3
Severity: important
Tags: patch

evolution-data-server is crashing regularly when setup to query a LDAP 
server. This is caused by missing checks, for example:
Thread 81 (Thread -1278219344 (LWP 18049)):
#0  0x00000000 in ?? ()
#1  0xb714b83d in ldap_op_finished (op=0x82616f8) at 
e-book-backend-ldap.c:1023
#2  0xb7f1bf72 in e_book_backend_stop_book_view (backend=0x80a2598,
    book_view=0x818a2c0) at e-book-backend.c:324
#3  0xb7f1d9ab in impl_GNOME_Evolution_Addressbook_BookView_stop (
    servant=0x818a2d4, ev=0xb3cfe358) at e-data-book-view.c:450
(gdb) up
#1  0xb714b83d in ldap_op_finished (op=0x82616f8) at e-book-backend-ldap.c:1023
(gdb) print op->dtor
$2 = (LDAPOpDtor) 0

I'm attaching a patch backporting the fixes that were applied to eds 
1.8. Please apply it for etch, as it makes evolution almost unusable in 
a LDAP-based corporate environment.
