More information: gal, gtkhtml, and evolution compiled with gcc3.0

If I attach a strace to the process after it starts, I see the following 
(some of the file names look like they have garbage):

Here is where the process just hangs and doesn't go anywhere at all (NOTE: no 
evolution debugging messages are put out to the console).

Please help me.  I need my Evolution!!!
