I know that gdb isn't causing Evolution to crash, but if gdb is locking up your machine and/or not giving you a trace of all threads, then I would consider that a bug in gdb.
Anyways, since it seems your gdb is buggy, I'm not sure you can actually *get* a useful trace without which, I can't fix the bug (unless you can tell me exactly how to reproduce it on my box).
