You loaded FreeBSD you said, what did you come from?
I suspect it was an issue with some binary data in the files. Although the data is written out endian-ness neutral, some data, such as size_t's and time_t's depend on the sizeof the type.
Now I look at the code, I wonder why I did it that way (other types are not size based on disk) - but its kind of hard to fix now.

Thanks Guenther, this worked perfectly. I deleted the
index files, and Evolution took a few seconds longer
to start than normal, but everything works fine now.
Thanks again.
