Hello, I am a user of the amd64 platform and I have noticed a 
regression that was introduced with GNOME 2.16.1, and specifically
databases/evolution-data-server 2.8.1.

The bug fixed by ports pr-93215 had its patch removed, but the bug
was never addressed by GNOME. The source has been slightly altered, but
the large memory allocation still occurs.

I am attaching a new patch to the camel/camel-object.c file that was
originally patched by: 
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/databases/evolution-data-server/files/Attic/patch-camel_camel-object.c
