I was doing some testing of env vars (HOME in this case) and managed to
get evolution to core..   I set $HOME to 10235 A's as shown below, then
tried to execute evolution.  When I did that the following happened:


sh-2.04$ export HOME=`perl -e'print "A" x 10235'`
sh-2.04$ evolution
Gnome-ERROR **: Could not create per-user Gnome directory
<AAAAAA....<snip>
aborting...
Aborted (core dumped)


I haven't looked into this enough yet but if you feel upto it please
keep me posted.
