        Hi,
the best to install debuginfo for the evolution, evolution-data-server
and the package which provides opensc-pkcs11.so and then reproduce the
crash with evolution being run under gdb like this: 
   $ gdb evolution --ex r --ex bt --ex "t a a bt" --ex q
and save the console output from the time the crash occurred. Please
check the output for any private information, like passwords, email
address, server addresses,... I usually search for "pass" at least
(quotes for clarity only).

It'll show where exactly the crash happened. It seems to me that this
crashed in opensc-pkcs11.so, which is not evolution's library, but it
can be it crashed due to evolution doing something nasty with it. In
any case, hard to tell from the above information.
        Bye,
        Milan
