Thanks for a bug report. I see from the backtrace that this crashed while a message was constructed in your IMAP account. This seems to me like a coincidence crash, but if you can reproduce it, then even better, as I didn't see any similar crash for some time. I suppose valgrind may shed some light here too. You can run evolution under valgrind like this: $ G_SLICE=always-malloc valgrind --num-callers=50 evolution &>log.txt Which, if you'll be able to reproduce it, will most likely show us where the memory corruption happened (I think it's a memory corruption, but no exact clue yet).
No luck reproducing so far. Since the crash has happened exactly once, I'm guessing it's somewhat unlikely to occur. I'll keep trying, though, and will report back if valgrind manages to catch it.
Thanks for the update. These "sometimes-happen" bugs are always pity, I do not like them much. I'm closing this for now, but please reopen if you'll see it again, hopefully with valgrind log (though I agree that evolution is mostly unusable for regular work when running under valgrind).
