I think this may be related to this bug:

http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=49485

I have not been getting an all-out crash like you have, instead evo
freezes and has to be shutdown with evolution --force-shutdown. Jeff
Stedfast doesn't have enough info to pin this down as yet, as I have
never successfully reproduced this under gdb. My guess in the original
bug report that this may be related to bouts of high disk activity may
be a red herring. It is extremely hard for me to reproduce. Sometimes it
doesn't happen for weeks on end, and then it will happen several times
in one day. I have no idea why. What is the number of your bug report?

Best, Darren
