 It's related in that I get a reproducible crash with evolution-rss
 enabled; the problem is that there's no plugin cleanup mechanism in
 evolution (only plugin init), and evolution-rss uses an "atexit"
 handler to cleanup gtkmozembed stuff.  If you don't cleanup gtkmozembed
 stuff, you might have a broken profile stored on disk.  I think cleanup
 crashes because the widgets are already destroyed by the rest of the
 exit steps.  Didn't diagnose further.

 I don't know; perhaps you can backup .evolution/?
