Mike,

If it happened here a little more often I'd try sniffing the network to
see if some kind of protocol error was occurring.  I believe that
connector accesses Exchange via it's webmail interface.  I suspect that
some http error is occurring that crashes the data server.  Usually
closing and rerunning evolution gets good results.

I've always believed that the data server was spawned when evolution
started, if it was not running already.  I do not think I have ever seen
the data server running after a reboot, but before running evolution.

As a test, I just killed the data server with signal 11 (SIGSEG) and was
presented with the "inform developers" dialog, but no information was
available in the debug info option, even after selecting update.  Try
running the "inform developers" option and see if you can get it to
forward a bug report to Novell.  Maybe installing the evolution-data-
server-debuginfo rpm will help
(http://mirror.linux.duke.edu/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/3/i386/debug/ for FC3).

As another point, when I was running connector under evo 1.4, rapidly
switching between email and the calendar crashed the data-server every
time.
