RE: [Evolution] Help: I screwed up my Evolution-1.4.5

[Not Zed <notzed ximian com>]

FWIW i now get something similar on my redhat 9 system.

I used to be able to run the evolution 1.4 that it comes with (well
xd2), but now i can't.  I have no kde installed on this machine.  I use
tmpfs so /tmp gets cleared every reboot.

I'm not sure if its related to kernel 2.6.x.

"Extremely strange, strange things"

Doesn't tell us a lot ...

Maybe Michael can give us a clue as to what it means?
