[Evolution] Re: [Galeon-user] Regular total lockups with 1.0.1 (and earlier)

[Rick Ziegler <zieglerr certco com>]

My father also experiences frequent lockups with RH 7.2, though he isn't
always using Galeon at the time.

Another RH 7.2 user blamed the same lockup on Evolution on the evolution
mailing list within the last week or two.

I'm inclined to believe there is something screwy with RH 7.2 and (all
of) your hardware configuration(s), or maybe the Ximian packages on
which Galeon and Evolution are built.  (Provided you are using Ximian
gnome).

Perhaps more detailed system information could help track this problem
down.
