Beagle causing GTK+ hangs

[Frederik Himpe <fhimpe telenet be>]

Hi. On Mandriva 2009.0 lots of people seem to be suffering a bug, where 
Beagle suddenly does not seem to respond to connections on its socket 
anymore, causing all kind of different hangs in GTK+ application (for 
example any file chooser and Evolution's new message window take more than 
a minute to come up).

This is being tracked in this bug reports:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=556107
https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=44532

Any idea what is causing this or how to debug this further?
