Description of problem: Trying to start evolution. There is definitely old data lying around as I have not used evolution on this machine in probably years now. I want to give it a go again.

Thanks for a bug report. I move this to webkigtk3, because the crash happens there, even the backtrace shows that the crash happened when a webkit's web view object instance was about to initialize, which is quite odd place to get a crash in. Maybe as a starter, could you try to update webkitgtk3 to the latest version, please? (the val_log_messages shows: evolution[4694]: segfault at bbadbeef ip 000000391ba8365f sp 00007fff6fc526b0 error 6 in libjavascriptcoregtk-3.0.so.0.13.16[391b600000+559000])
I think ultimately this happened because I had my VM ulimit set to 2GB. It seems pretty crazy that tools that use webkit need more than 2GB of VM. In any case, removing the ulimit seems to have rectified this.
Ah, I see. I would not expect it being it. Let me close this, because if it's about memory limits, then the crash sort-of makes sense. Not that I agree with high memory usage of evolution, it's just the opposite.
