[Evolution] evolution startup crash



My evolution crashes on startup. :-(

i did an upgrade yesterday using redcarpet.  it worked fine for sometime,
but later crashed.  now it does not even startup. message:


** ERROR **: file orbit-small.c: line 415 (orbit_small_demarshal):
assertion failed: (ret != NULL)
aborting...


now, any clue what orbit in evolution is?  i want to start debugging it
etc. it sucks to have my fav. mail client die, keeping my calendar with
it.

red hat 8.0
[07:33:33]::~ $ evolution --version
Gnome evolution 1.4.5


redcarpet says that this evol 1.4.5-0.ximain.5.1


gdb:
