Isn't this a duplicate of bug #1195662 ?
I see it has been reported in 2013 so I wonder if there's a reason for it not to have been marked as duplicate all this time...

I keep getting the "evolution-source-registry crashed with SIGSEGV in g_slice_alloc()" error and it's been over a year now since #1195662 has been reported. I wonder if anyone is working on this.

I have just raised Bug #1527495 which was initially suggested as a possible duplicate of this bug and Bug #1195662. Now that apport has done its thing my new bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug #1279108 which could suggest that this bug is also a duplicate of that one.

So I have tripped over the same problem again, but this time only Bug #1195662 and Bug #1235177 were offered as suggestions. Bug #1527495 that I raised a while ago was not seen as a likely similarity.

It seems that I am able to periodically reproduce a problem, whether it is one of the three bugs listed above or the possibly mythical bug #1279108 I cannot say. However if there are any investigative steps I can take or work arounds to try please do get in touch.

Seen again today and I like Michael suspect this might be a duplicate of bug #1195662. That would add another 6 duplicates to the other bug and up its heat by 36 and give it 11 more affected people which is another 44. That would give a total heat of 156+36+44=236. That would even be enough to get it near the heady heights of a privately marked bug.
