Hmm . . . alas, I uninstalled barry-utils and libbarry (the only two
items installed for Blackberry support) and I still segfaulted.  I
rebooted just in case and got the same.  I reinstalled Evolution and it
still segfaults. So it may be something else.  Unfortunately, I don't
have the time right now to throw it into a debugger and track it down.
