Package: evolution-2.4 
Version: 2.4.2.1

I have been using evolution on etch for many months with no problems. Recently,
though, it stopped working for me. When I run evolution by picking it from the
program menu, I get a "Starting Evolution" message in the task bar and a
spinner on the mouse for a few seconds, then those both go away but evolution
never opens. When I run evolution from a terminal window, I get: 

$ evolution
adding hook target 'source'
*** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (out): 0x08160610 ***

If I open another terminal and check the processes, I get: 

$ ps -U jbeach | grep evolution
12603 pts/0    00:00:00 evolution
12605 ?        00:00:00 evolution-data-

If I ctrl-c in the terminal I used to start evolution to regain the command
line, when I check the processes again I get: 

$ ps -U jbeach | grep evolution
12605 ?        00:00:00 evolution-data-

I am using Debian GNU/Linux Etch 
Linux version: 2.6.15-1-k7 
libc6 version: 2.3.6-3
