I've been looking further into this problem. My Evolution usually
times out after it has used 100% CPU for a while. Then it reports that
it has lost the connection to the backend process. That prolly means
that the problem isn't between the connector and the exchange server,
but between evolution and the connector. In the logs of the exchange
server, there is nothing unusual.
