Yeah, you're not exactly the only one :) And exchange is especially 
problematic, from what I heard. It might be better in recent evolution 
versions (like 2.26 or 2.28).

Yes, the summaries weren't compatible between 32 and 64 (or any other 
arch I guess). The sqlite backend is supposed to fix that.

Is it fully reproducible? Can you get a backtrace? Is it only with 
evolution-exchange or with other backends as well? Any chance you might 
try with a more recent evolution? (testing as 2.28).
