Well, I did it.  Now I feel like an idiot.  Briefly the description 
is "Evolution freezes.  Start it and watch it crash."  If I were a
developer, I'd go right on to something else.

================== The actual bugzilla entry follows ==================

Summary:
        Evolution freezes frequently
        
Description:
        Description of problem:
        Several times a day evolution freezes, doesn't respond to input or
        refresh its window.  Generally, if I click on the window decoration to
        delete the window, the window manager (gnome) puts up an error box that
        evolution is not responding and asking if I want it killed.  When I
        respond yes and restart evolution it runs fine for a while, then crashes
        again after a while.  Sometimes no box appears (evolution must be
        responding to a message from the window manager, though nothing is
        visible on the screen), and in this case evolution has to be killed from
        a command window.  All of these crashes seem to be quite random: the
        evolution window can be visible on hidden (when visible) displaying or
        composing mail or doing nothing.
        
        
        Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
        evolution-2.26.3-1.fc11.x86_64
        
        
        How reproducible:
        Not very.

        
        Steps to Reproduce:
        1. Start Evolution
        2. Wait for it to freeze
        
        
        Actual results:
        Evolution freezes
        
        
        Expected results:
        Evolution continues to run OK
        
        
        Additional info:
        I know this is not very helpful, but I have been advised to post this to 
        the bugzilla, since developers don't follow the evolution mailing list.
