[Evolution] Bug#434910: evolution sporadically becomes unresponsive, uses all CPU

Package: evolution
Version: 2.10.2-1
Severity: normal

This problem significant affects usability and the performance of my
entire system.  It is new since the 2.10 upgrade.

When I'm using evolution, as often as every few minutes, it locks up
for awhile (10 seconds?) and becomes unresponsive.  It consumes all
available CPU.  I haven't noticed much of a pattern; I think it has
happend while scrolling the message list (which is long), while
scrolling a message in a compose window, and while typing a reply.

I am running under KDE.  My mailboxes are IMAP; some are quite large.
My INBOX is 20k messages.

Here's an excerpt from .xsession-errors around the time I was seeing
these problems:
