evolution crashed with signal 5 in g_object_new_valist()

[Joe Barnett]

on sending an email, evolution crashed with signal 5 in g_object_new_valist()

for some reason, the crash report is not being uploaded to launchpad via apport or ubuntu-bug /var/crash/_usr_bin_evolution.1000.crash, but i'll attach the .crash file here

note this happens every time i try to send an email, downgrading back to evolution 3.16.3 works, but the current 3.16.5 package is pretty much unusable

I'm trying but I can't reproduce this :(

Are there any special steps you're taking to do so? I guess it's in some
way related to certain configurations.

If you're able, could you get a backtrace manually yourself using gdb?

hmm after reupgrading, it appears to work again -- i'll get a gdb backtrace if it happens again though.

OK - maybe some other component changed and fixed it...

I'll set this bug to Incomplete so that it goes away automatically if it doesn't happen again, but feel free to change if you do start seeing it.

Thanks :).
