Comment 11 Milan Crha 2013-04-25 02:23:20 EDT
Thanks for a bug report. This is caused by a thread non-safety of GConf, as indicated here:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=627358

and here, with its duplicates:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=619567

Except of the first bug there was no exact fix in this, beside architecture change in evolution-data-server and evolution, basically where the place to save account information is saved, in time of 3.6.x.
Comment 12 Milan Crha 2013-04-25 02:31:49 EDT
Looking closely to the backtrace, your issue is the first bug. The commit Matthew mentioned is this one [1], but it changes public API, which might mean to rebuild all dependent packages in RHEL to be sure it didn't break anything. I'm not sure how much it is doable. Maybe if we'll not deprecate the old function and will use the new in ENameSelector, then it'll be fine.

for evolution-data-server;

Backport of Matthew's patch, without changing existing API.
Comment 16 Milan Crha 2013-05-09 10:44:57 EDT
The above patch is part of the eds 2.32.3, thus I add dependency on the rebase bug.
