Isn't this the known issue of either no entry for localhost or gaps
and/or comments in /etc/hosts? If it is, then it isn't a bug in
evolution but a known bug in something else (either glib or glibc if I
remember correctly). Remove any comments or blank lines in /etc/hosts
and see if the problem goes away.

Best, Darren
