[Evolution-hackers] Crash in libebook (1.4.5)

[John Spiegel <mithrir yahoo com>]

I'm trying to access the evolution address book with this code:

----snip----
int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
    EBook*  book;

    //g_type_init();
    //printf("gtype inited\n");

    bonobo_activation_init(argc, argv);
    printf("bonobo activated\n");
    //bonobo_activation_orb_init(&argc, argv);
    //printf("bonobo orb activated\n");

    book = e_book_new();
    printf("Got an ebook\n");

    char* localPath = g_strdup_printf (
            "file://%s/evolution/local/Contacts/addressbook.db", g_get_home_dir());
    printf( "|");
    printf(localPath);
    printf("|\n");

    printf("|%s|\n", e_book_get_uri(book) );
    e_book_load_uri(book, localPath, loaded_cb, NULL);
}
----snip----

The code always crashes in e_book_load_uri.  Here's a backtrace from
gdb:

(gdb) bt

Is this a pthread problem?  A problem in my code?  An evolution bug?
