Thanks for taking the time to report this bug.
Unfortunately, the stack trace is missing some elements that will help a lot to
solve the problem, so it will be hard for the developers to fix that crash.

Could you please help fixing this by installing some debugging packages [1],
start the application as normal, and try to reproduce the crash, if possible?

Once bug-buddy pops up, you can find the stacktrace in the 'Details', now
containing way more information. Please copy that stacktrace and paste it as a
comment here. Thanks in advance!

[1] Please install debug packages for evolution, evolution-data-server,
gtkhtml, gtk, glib, gnome-vfs, pango, libgnome and libgnomeui (as far as those
packages are provided by your distribution).

More details can be found here: http://live.gnome.org/GettingTraces
