I had similiar problem with Evo 1.4.5 few months ago... BTW your version
seems pretty grayhaired as well - not thinking about upgrade?

Good to know it's not really infinite at the end :-)

You can use "strace" command - shutdown evo, then run from console
(xterm):
evolution --force-shutdown
strace -f -o/tmp/strace.out evolution &
tail -f /tmp/strace.out

This will preserve strace output for future analysis (the file tends to
be quite big, so be sure there's enough space in /tmp.

When Evo hangs, switch to the console (or xterm) you'd ran the strace
from and take a look what it is waiting for.

I'd guess it's some kind of weird socket...

My problem was solved by switching to 1st runlevel, deleting whole /tmp
content and back to 5th runlevel, from then it's OK. Strange, i know.

Take care
