I have just had this happen to me in Edgy. I just so happen to run my system in "leave a core dump behind mode" and in desperation I killed evolution with a SIGSEV, leaving a core dump 956M behind and around 200M of free space left on the disk. Apport then started up and proceeded to chew up the rest of the free disk space before I manually killed it off...
