Evolution 2.04 has locked up three times composing a reply to an email.
It's memory usage sky rockets and goes massively virtual. Only solution
is to eventually open the root shell (extremely slow) and type:-

# evolution --force-shutdown 

When Evolution is reopen it generally recovers the composed email and
continues till editing another email. 

Had problems with Kernel 2.6.11-1.14_FC3 and reverted to
2.6.10-1.770_FC3 which I had been using for 23 days solid with evolution
open without a hitch. Install and boot 2.6.11-1.27_FC3 and Evolution
starts crashing and eating memory. 

Anyone else seeing problems with 2.6.11-1.27_FC3
