Bug Description

A contact has changed his email address. I added the new address and then tried to delete the old one. Evolution hung, several times. On restarting evolution I found that the new address had been inserted, but that the old one had not been deleted.

After a while I tried again and this time I got crashes rather than hangs, but still no deletion.

This is using an LDAP address book.

Running evolution in foreground gives:

raph@w500:~$ evolution

I reported the bug from my 64 bit system. I have just tried it on a 32-bit machine with different results.

The contact is deleted, though the 'edit contact' window does not show the change until it is closed and re-opened.
