If the address book has been created by GnomeMeeting using
Evolution-Data-Server 1.2, there is no problem.

If there exist an address book created by Evolution using
Evolution-Data-Server 1.x, then it hangs with the following backtrace :
#0  0x41a37115 in pthread_cond_wait@@GLIBC_2.3.2 ()
   from /lib/tls/libpthread.so.0
#1  0x405b5906 in e_book_cancel () from /usr/lib/libebook-1.2.so.3

speeddial=0x0)
    at gm_contacts-eds.cpp:424

[...]


Once the address book migration has been executed by the new Evolution,
then it starts working again.

No problem but is there a workaround to the above problem?
