[Evolution] Evo crashes since snapshot 0.16.99-snap.ximian.200110120808

[Jens Lautenbacher <jtl schlund de>]

Hi,
I have big problems with evo. After upgrading to the mentioned snap, evo 
stopped being able to start up. The splash screens comes up, all the 4 
components seem to load, but then evo-mail, evo-addressbook and then 
again evo-mail segfaults  (The segfault dialog comes up)
Finally a dialog pops up telling me "Could not start the Evolution 
Mailer Wizard interface IDL:CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0"

I did change nothing on my system (RH 7 with ximian gnome) except 
updating evo with RC.

Any help, please :-)... I am forced to use mozilla mail at the moment  :-(


Attaching with gdb to the mail component after the crash revealed:
