I don't see this crash.

Note: in the last 24 hrs, Mikael has fixed a couple of nasty issues
which could improve your situation. Namely metadata date handling issues
and MP3 & JPEG extractor fixes. I also changed the extractor to use
libtracker-common functions instead of the duplicated code it was using.

Note: It will spit status messages out roughly every 10 seconds to keep
the daemon and applet up to date. Even if nothing has happened.

How have you disabled that?

I tried it with -d evolution and with the DisabledModules config option
in the .cfg file. Both worked fine for me.

Yes, I have done that twice. I have no problems with the indexing or
searching with the search tools either. I have tried this on my desktop
and I have done this on the Nokia device too. Both work properly.

Are you able to try on another machine?

Hmm, if you run the daemon with -v 3 it should say when it gets to the
evolution module if it is disabled or not.

You don't have the evolution mail directory in your WatchDirectoryRoots
do you?

Test that and with a word similar to another it suggests something
(which shows results when I click on it) and with something completely
incomprehensible it just says it couldn't find anything. I don't get any
crashes.

I have asked Phillip to do the same too to make sure it isn't something
I am doing. I have a feeling it might be the content you are indexing.

Does it crash for you if you index a small selection of files? If you
could try a couple of places with only a few files in a directory that
would really help us identify if it was content based or not.
