This seems to be a bug in evolution-exchange when running against
libglib2.10. Up until 2.6, evolution-exchange has been maintained
outside of the Debian evolution-team, so these bugs haven't been hunted
down. This will, hopefully be better in the future, and both evolution
and evolution-exchange 2.6 will reach unstable very soonish.

Hopefully the workaround in the link from Andre will help you until
these versions reach testing: 

Start Evolution with a glib specific environment variable set:

  $ G_SLICE=always-malloc evolution

Cheers :)
