evolution-data-server-2.28 crashed with SIGSEGV in strlen()

[Stefan]

Binary package hint: evolution-data-server

Evolution crashes on adding a new contact.
First a message is displayed telling me that the contacts are not available until the next (evolution) restart.

After some seconds the application crached anyway.
On trying it again after application-restart everything worked fine.
