Thanks a lot for this tip. I upgraded Evo on Saturday from Debian 'experimental' and had a bad time starting Evo. <snipped> > Q: My evolution 2.4.2.1 (debian testing) hangs up saying "*** glibc > detected *** double free or corruption".

I attached a 'gdb' session to Evo and found that these erors were happening inside libgtkhtml. I later figured out that 'libgtkhtml' was not updated on my machine during the evo's upgrade. The version of 'libgtkhtml3.8-15' was '3.8.1-1' on my machine, and '3.8.1-1.1' was available. I updated 'libgtkhtml3.8-15' to '3.8.1-1.1' and Evo hasn't crashed on me yet. :) After reading your post, I did a Google and found this: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=358071 Only if I had read this before, I wouldn't have spent so much time in figuring out the exact problem. Hope this helps.
