We've since figured out that evolution-mail is surviving longer than the
evolution shell. When you exit, evolution-mail tries to create new
EvolutionActivityClients (because it's performing activities --
expunging mailboxes) with a dead reference to the shell, causing a
segfault in evolution_activity_client_new().

I'm not sure if this has been fixed yet, but that's the problem. It's on
Bugzilla somewhere.
