        Hi,
make sure you've installed debug info packages for evolution-data-server
and evolution, and then try to reproduce this under valgrind, which will
be pretty slow, but it may show what happened to the memory and where.
You can get a valgrind log with this command:
   $ G_SLICE=always-malloc valgrind --num-callers=50 evolution &>log.txt
and when it's finished then the log.txt file may contain the
information. Note that valgrind can sometimes prevent crash and report
issue to the console/log only.
        Bye,
        Milan
