That's good, it took a week for the segfault to reappear and once again
, I have no way of knowing why. it did it after I had the computer
running overnight. The only "consistent" thing is I'm prompted to sign
into Google Contacts before the crash. Even that makes little sense due
to me having don't ask on this device checked. Maybe because I have 2
gmail accounts it's checking(?)but I doubt that, I'm reasonably sure
Evolution can get multiple IMAP accounts with no problems. 
But since it shouldn't be more than just another process to run, I'll
just leave evolution in gdb running until it pukes again.
