Evolution 2.2.1.1 crashing regularly

Hi,

I don't know if anyone has been seeing the same problems as I have, but
here goes:

Problem A:

Evolution crashes regularly. I can't seem to find a pattern to the
crashes at all. A link to a backtrace from one of the crashes (caught by
bugbuddy) appears below. The backtrace is enormous, hence the reason I
haven't included it inline.

Problem B:

The tree view of mail folders is not updated correctly when messages are
marked as read. The count of unread messages in the tree view remains
the same while even when all the messages in that mailbox are marked as
read. The only way to get the count to update is to switch to another
mailbox (apparently to force a save of the mailbox) and then restart
Evolution.

If anyone could provide any insight into either of the problems I would
be most grateful. (Especially if it's along the lines of "You fool! You
should have been doing...". :-))

Thanks

-Conor
