I did a quick google for the above line, and came up with:
http://treo.discussion.treocentral.com/showthread.php?t=69675

"I had this happening with DateBk5 and it turns out that some
applications leave the Calendar database dirty with undeleted records.
DateBk5 distributes a utility called "dbscan" that will scan the PIM
databases and delete bad records. My problems disappeared after using
this utility."

This sounds like a possible culprit.  If evo crashed, perhaps due to:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=319076
then I guess it might have left data on your treo in a corrupt state.
