Evolution crashes immediately.

I was using Evolution just fine for a few mail messages, but once I hit a message it would consistently crash: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Miguel: Looks like the crash happened in pango library which has been called from gtkhtml. If the mail source is not confidential, can you please attach here ?
Am sorry, I deleted the email as it was some kind of spam.
Not Evolution. The symbol 'pango_fc_font_create_metrics_for_context' is undefined in libpangocairo. Encountered the problem while building evolution before. Posting a patch to pango developers upstream.
If you want to have the patch in 10.0, please provide the patch or upstream bug with patch.
What is the status of this harish? I've seen no more reports of this.
Oops..I missed this one completely. I had been told this issue had been resolved in the trunk already and the QA could not reproduce this again. Poornima, can you pl. regress this bug and resolve it if you can confirm it is not valid anymore ?
This bug is not reproducible on Suse 10.0 anymore. Marking bug as 'Resolved Obsolete'.
