I'm running Dapper, but I remember seeing the problem on Breezy (and IIRC 
earlier) as well. AFAIK, I don't use any special plugin and I don't use the 
exchange connector. I tried running valgrind but not only is that incredibly 
slow, but there are hundreds of errors and leaks reported. The summary is:
==17420== ERROR SUMMARY: 10757 errors from 583 contexts (suppressed: 211 from 1)
==17420== malloc/free: in use at exit: 19,248,789 bytes in 292,773 blocks.
==17420== malloc/free: 4,834,032 allocs, 4,541,259 frees, 280,995,543 bytes 
allocated.
...
==17420== LEAK SUMMARY:
==17420==    definitely lost: 26,492 bytes in 541 blocks.
==17420==    indirectly lost: 67,047 bytes in 1,625 blocks.
==17420==      possibly lost: 375,893 bytes in 557 blocks.
==17420==    still reachable: 18,779,357 bytes in 290,050 blocks.
==17420==         suppressed: 0 bytes in 0 blocks.

As I mentioned earlier, the problem only happens once every few weeks
(but crashes my machine 50% of the time), so it's hard to reproduce.
Unfortunately, it's just not feasible to run evolution under valgrind
all the time.
