[Hoary] Evolution is very unstable -- crashes often.

Am I the only one for whom Evolution is crashing on a regular basis?  If
I leave it running, it will inevitably crash.  This has been happening
for more than 6 months.  I keep hoping they'll fix it... and wishing I
had more time to learn how to debug it and fix it myself.

I think it's leaking memory now also; this began happening recently.  I
use the Software Suspend 2 patch, and when Evolution has been running
for a long period of time (assuming it has not crashed yet), it
sometimes cannot suspend to disk because too much swap is in use.  If I
close Evolution, it takes a long time to free all that swap, then it
suspends fine.

I hate to say it, but the instability in Evolution began happening right
around the time that Novell bought Ximian.  What's up with that, I
wonder?
