We think the problem is I just have too many vfolders. Each vfolder spawns several asynchronomous operations, each creating a pipe (and 2 file descriptors per pipe). I have over a hundred vfolders, so i hit the default hard limit (of 10240) pretty fast. I think i'm a bit of a minority having that many vfolders, so I don't think this is a widespread problem. We should probably get this filed upstream and work on it there. Removing from FC6 Desktop tracker.

I'd say the problem now is much more benign than Evolution failing to start half the time. My solution to the race condition is a bit radical (i.e. a total rewrite of the EMsgPort implementation) and I'm not comfortable with it slipping into FC6 until it gets more widespread testing. So I'm okay with shipping evolution-data-server-1.8.0-2.fc6.
