Bug Description

I am trying to edit a contact's surname. Specifically, I am changing it from the form 'abcdefg' to 'abc defg' i.e. inserting a space. Evolution crashes when I try to save the modified record.

It makes no difference whether I edit the 'full name' field or the 'file under' field.

Repeatable.

A nuisance, but not the end of the world.

I create a new contact, saved it, and then edited it to insert a space in the name.
