evolution crashed with SIGSEGV in g_slice_alloc()

[Brice Terzaghi]

Binary package hint: evolution

Not sure if it is the same bug as others that crash Evolution, so I open a new one.

After running for a while, it happens that Evolution crashes when hitting the "reply" button. Happened already in Lucid, maybe in Karmic too.

It is not reproducible at will, as it seems to be random. The only constant parameter when the crash happens is that Evolution has been running for some hours. It seems to happen only with the "reply" action. Checking for new emails (e.g.) does not seem to trigger a crash.

Using up-to-date Ubuntu 10.10.
