(1) Pedro: running evolution now does not generate a new crash file in /var/crash (which may be a separate bug). The old crash from a day ago or so does not contain debug symbols. Do I have to invoke /usr/bin/evolution with a wrapper script or something to get it to generate a /var/crash log?
(2) David: I installed evolution-dbg, however the stack from 'gdb /usr/bin/evolution' still has no useful symbols. The evolution-dbg package contains this file /usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/evolution that appears like it may be a debug version of evolution, but gdb on this still does not produce any useful info: fcdevldev01:/var/crash> ls -l /usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/evolution -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 402499 2008-02-25 19:16 /usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/evolution fcdevldev01:/var/crash> file !$ file /usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/evolution /usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/evolution: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.6.8, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped gdb /usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/evolution GNU gdb 6.7.1-debian Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

(gdb) --- (3) Given (1) and (2), I am stuck without any obvious way to generate a meaningful crash, and for some reason the /var/crash generator is not generating crash logs for evolution.
