Wrong too.
It seems to be Orbit assuming a kernel routine to return some value but
receiving something else. 
Actually it was a kernel bug (that got fixed) on which Orbit was
relying.
Problem is that Orbit didn't get fixed.

A message on the linux kernel mailing list is refering to a bitkeeper
changeset at the origin of the "evolution case". Before this changeset
Evolution is dealing right with kernel 2.5 and after this changeset it
doesn't work anymore.
