Bug Description
Binary package hint: evolution
The attached segmentation fault appears whenever trying to open the calendar in evolution. I've got all evolution components ending in -dbg installed, and will attach a valgrind, strace, and gdb output.
interesting behavior on this is if I launch evolution with:
CAMEL_DEBUG=all evolution
it actually loads the calendar, and then when I try to switch days it throws a seg fault. Roughly the same behavior appears when I run valgrind on it, but it says "Killed" instead of seg faulting. Both of these outputs are attached in the same file as the original. If I run it under gdb, it does the same as CAMEL_DEBUG=all, though it does throw a seg fault.
I don't believe this is related, but I am using the evolution-exchange plugin to access the exchange server. I have tried removing evolution from the system, and then reinstalling (using purge, as well as manually removing the files in the home directory and gconf) but this didn't help. I do not have the "Work" calendar enabled while it crashes (I can't enable it at all, since it crashes as soon as I enter the calendar).

Description: Ubuntu 8.10
Release: 8.10
I expected evolution to open the calendar, so that I could view and edit appointments and meetings. Instead, evolution closed with a segmentation fault.
Please ping me with any and all requests for information.
I am unable to reproduce on the 2 other computers running ubuntu in the office. One of these is running 8.04, and the other is running 8.10, with the same version of evolution as I am.
I can also provide a test case (step by step) and/or a screen recording of the issue if this would be helpful.
