evolution crashed with SIGSEGV in pango_layout_line_get_extents()

[Arthur Rilke]

Binary package hint: evolution

First Evolution crashed when I selected all contacts and chose to have them deleted. Evolution then immediately restarted and recovered a draft message I was working on. I clicked on Calendar. Then Evolution crashed for a second time, which is the crash apport has now collected information on.

I can regularly reproduce this crash by clicking on a specific date in my evolution calendar. I've attached the data described on the DebuggingProgramCrash wiki page.
