It looks like the initial addrinfo returned from getaddrinfo has a NULL ai_canonname Looks similar to (though not a duplicate of) this bug; perhaps needs some more bulletproofing in e_gethostbyname_r: http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=56337
Yes, but my hosts are valid and should resolve. Hmm, perhaps it isn't even evolution's fault. Lately I've had lots of apps crash, and I can't figure out why... mostly fedora.us and livna, but not always. Mplayer crashes, xine crashes, plaympeg crashes (but mpg123 works), some of the games I wanted to look at crashed (enigma, supertux)... and now evolution. The Nvidia 3D driver (the new one) doesn't work either. Then the backtraces don't show anything meaningful - single entry with question marks in it. Something is seriously wrong with FC right now, but I can't figure out what it is exactly. It worked fine a week ago. I even reverted glibc to FC2 from devel but that didn't help. Maybe something to do with the compiler - I don't know... hmm
This still crashes with evolution evolution-1.5.90-5 and it's the most annoying thing ever. It's reproducible 70% of the time. I have to retry about 10 times before being able to fetch my mail. It always crashes on get/retrieve whether automatic or user-triggered. The first time it asks to restart the application. The second time it just dies. On the bright side I am happy with the mail recover feature, which is nice to restore my in-progress email every time evol. crashes due to auto-mail-fetch every 10 mins ( I refuse to turn it off! ) no debugging symbols found)...

evolution-1.5.91-1 Still broken. I don't think FC3 should be released before this bug is fixed. Evolution is a core application, and with this bug it's practically unusable unless you're willing to put up with 20 crashes to get your mail.
evolution-1.5.92.2-2 Still broken.
Can no longer reproduce.
