Thanks for the info.  Please read _OFF_ above.

Evolution is always running when the system crashes.  I am running a
dist-upgrade every couple of days.

I have used 3 kernels:
	2.6.8-1-k7 (2.6.8-5)
	2.6.8-2-k7 (2.6.8-13)
	2.6.8-2-k7 (2.6.8-16)
I still have the first one and I will revert to it later today.

There is some small chance this is a hardware problem but it seems very
unlikely.  Christoph Beier reported similar hard crashes on
debian-testing without any reference to sound.

I looked through the bugs list on gnome and evolution has a
"data-server" which seems to leak memory fairly agressively and which
keeps running after you quit.

However, a user-space application should not be able to crash the
system.  I have used linux for 12 years and never seen anything this
bad ... I've only heard about it from windows users.
