There is a socket in /tmp for evolution. I deleted it but still wasn't
able to restart evo. I logged out, deleted everything in /tmp, and
restarted. After that, it did finally start after I walked away for a
while. I'm not sure if it's the removal of the tmp files or just the wait
that did it though.
It seems that the hang on start happens when I try to use the Exchange
global address book. More research needed, then I'll be back with some
other issues...
