My first advice would be to try submitting the stack trace (through
bugzilla), regardless of whether the stack trace looks useless.  In
cases of memory corruption, especially if a case can be found in which
it can be reproduced easily, valgrind can be useful.  It's generally not
practical to run Evolution under valgrind for everyday use, though.
