        Hi,
thanks for your help on this.

valgrind usually helps in such cases. You can run evolution like this:
   $ valgrind --num-callers=50 evolution &>log.txt
and valgrind will check evolution for some memory issues.

Strange, I do not see it there. I've there:
        status = dcerpc_NspiResolveNamesW_r(nspi_ctx->rpc_connection->binding_handle, mem_ctx, &r);
        retval = r.out.result;
        OPENCHANGE_RETVAL_IF(!NT_STATUS_IS_OK(status), retval, NULL);
        OPENCHANGE_RETVAL_IF(retval, retval, NULL);

        return MAPI_E_SUCCESS;
}

thus what is returned is a 'retval' variable, not 'status'.

That's called internally by the GObject system. It's used as an object
(structure) initializer. You can check with gdb, as Adam suggested.
   $ gdb evolution --ex "b e_mapi_connection_init" --ex r
        Bye,
