Are you restarting the system between trials? It is possible that
evolution-data-server wasn't restarted.


Which process is segfaulting? evolution or evolution-data-server?

Run:
> gdb evolution

When it segfaults, use bt command to view the backtrace.

You will need to recompile with debug symbols. Download the PKGBUILD,
set options=(debug !strip) on it, and recompile with makepkg
