did you wait some seconds before starting evolution? Because if you
didn't, it may happen that another evolution-calendar process is started
from the evolution shell, and it is that one the one which crashes, and
not the one on your gdb session.
Another try:
* killev
* start evolution as usual
* when started, go to a terminal and:
ps ax | grep calendar
gdb evolution-calendar pidof_evolution_calendar
(where pidof_evolution_calendar is the pid number shown by ps)
then, when the gdb prompt shows up:
(gdb) c
and sit there until it crashes (that is, go to your evolution window and
load the calendar component, as you did before). When it crashes:
(gdb) bt
