evolution(-data-server) hangs when creating appointments in calendar

[Michael Flaig]

Binary package hint: evolution

This is a bug that is annoying me since intrepid and is also there in jaunty

I get hangs of evolution-data-server in 1 of 5 created appointsments or meetings.

The dialog can be filled out, but when saving the button stays in pressed state and evolution is not responding anymore.
The only way to get evolution to even restart again after killing it with xkill is to do evolution --force-shutdown and start evolution again afterwards.

Apport is not seeing this "hang" because evo-data-server does not seem to crash entirely. Please point me to instructions how to debug this. I can reproduce this on 2 Machines. Both now on jaunty.

Right now the bug is not hitting me anymore, I'll try to force it by creating lots of appointments.
We'll see if it is gone or not. I'll report back as soon as I can.
