Evolution troubles with Connector / Exchange

Hi,

upgrading my corporate workstation from RH9+Ximian Desktop (Evolution
1.4+Ximian Connector) to FC4 seems to cause major headache when
connecting Evolution to Exchange, whereas things worked really fine 
with RH9/Ximian.

Basically, Evolution freezes randomly, most times while 'scanning for
changes messages' but also at other operations.

Furthermore, calendar and addressbook wont work at all, Evo gets 
stuck also while attempting to autocomplete an address.

well, every Xth startup, the addressbook actually works...

- Are problems with Evolution/Exchange a known issue?
- Is anyone actually using that combination?
- best way to provide debug info?
  (CAMEL_VERBOSE_DEBUG=1 E2K_DEBUG=5 don't yield useful results)
- strace reveals, that evo and evo-exchange wait on a futex,
  sometimes the network connection seems to have been disconnected.


thanks for any hints,

 / pit
