i just reproduced it a number of times by
1.  starting evolution
2a. Ctrl-N for a new message
2b. typing 3-4 characters in the "To:" field
2c. Ctrl-W to close the window (not saving changes)
3a. Ctrl-N for a (second) new message
3b. typing 3-4 characters in the "To:" field brings up the wombat crash
dialog

sometimes the step "3" isn't needed, and it crashes in 2b. it doesn't
seem to matter whether i type garbage for the 3-4 characters or the
actual start of someone's email in the address book.

thanks.
