evolution crashed with SIGSEGV in g_closure_invoke(). i had typo'd my server name and evolution could not connect. when i tried to cancel it crashed.

Binary package hint: evolution

i can consistently reproduce the issue. If I "misconfigured" my email account (for example, misspell the server name) so evolution cannot connect to the server at start up, i get an error box at the bottom--see screen shot. then if i click the "Red octagon with the white X" to close the error, my machine pegs for several seconds until evolution finally crashes

i can consistently get it to fail under gdb. here is a brief snippet

i would be happy to provide more debugging, if deemed useful. i do not have the source for evolution, nor am i setup to build from source on this machine right now, but would be willing to try if i must :)
