Excellent.  If you give me and/or the list a nudge when it's up I'll
build it and give it a whirl.  Is this all the 2.11.5 stuff, or just
part of it?

As far as I can tell the problem starts when, and only when, I select
the Inbox folder in the "On This Computer" section.  I can select other
folders in "On This Computer", and I can select any folder I want
(including Inbox) in the section for my Exchange account (which I call
"Work"--inventive, huh?) and everything works fine.

The minute I select "On This Computer -> Inbox", Exchange starts to get
wonky.

I did a bunch more testing tonight about EXACTLY which folders cause the
problem, stopping and starting Evo SVN over and over with each different
folder selected.  Only three (On This Computer -> Inbox, On This
Computer -> Junk, and one I created: On This Computer -> ISP) cause this
core dump problem.  All other folders allow Evo SVN to start up fine.

I've added notes to the bug.
