[Evolution] evolution crashes

[Alan Barnett <asb mail nih gov>]

Last week I ran out of space on my hard drive.  I deleted some files to
make more room, but since then I have been unable to run evolution. 
When I try, it fails with the error messages

evolution&
[2] 18356
gestalt{asb}26:
** ERROR **: file corba-object.c: line 74 (ORBit_register_objref):

The error message are repeated until I kill the process.
At the same time, firefox fails, with similar error messages:
gestalt{asb}28:
** ERROR **: file corba-object.c: line 74 (ORBit_register_objref):

[2]    Exit 134                      firefox

Other users can run both evolution and firefox on the machine.  I tried
deleting the ~/.gconf/apps/evolution folder, but evolution still fails. 
I'm running evolution 1.4 on redhat enterprise.  Any ideas?
