[Evolution] Bug#523000: evolution: Evolution crashes since update to 2.24.5-3 on startup

Package: evolution
Version: 2.24.5-3
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

After upgrading evoltuion to 2.24.5-3 from 2.22, it crashes on startup.

Neither evoltion nor evolution-data-server were running at the time of
the upgrade. On first restart, evolution displayed a progress bar
indicating a conversion of the mail folders to a new format. Since then
it crashes on every start right after briefly displaying the program
window with a segmentation fault.

** (evolution:11295): DEBUG: mailto URL command: evolution %s
** (evolution:11295): DEBUG: mailto URL program: evolution
Segmentation fault

I installed evolution-dbg in the hope to get more detail, but that's
all it says. I hope there is an easy fix for this....
