That bug doesn't seem at all related to the description above (100% cpu
usage between evo and gnome-keyring).  That bug is the other issue where
passwords aren't accepted.

I've seen the 100% CPU usage happen on Ubunutu, when something goes
wonky with Evolution.  If the Exchange backend crashes or something else
of similar seriousness happens, it seems like Evo and the keyring server
get out of step or something, and they both go crazy trying to talk to
each other chewing up all the CPU.  IIRC, I've had to kill/restart
gnome-keyring to fix it.  Restarting Evo doesn't help.

Now that Evo is more stable I don't see this as much anymore.

I don't remember seeing the problem(s) described by the bug above,
though.
