[Evolution] Empathy hangs; Empathy or Evolution Issue?

[Adam Tauno Williams <awilliam whitemice org>]

Occasionally my Empathy window opens but is blank (list not
contact/buddies) and the Empathy application appears to be hung
[unresponsive].  But Evolution is working.

If I run Empathy from the command line I see the message -

(empathy:5901): folks-WARNING **: Error preparing persona store
'eds:1272120085 3375 5 linux-yu4c': Couldn't open address book
â1272120085 3375 5 linux-yu4câ: Cannot open book: Cannot process, book
backend is opening

(empathy:5901): folks-WARNING **: Error preparing persona store

â1327420330 3965 17 linux-dauq siteâ: Cannot open book: Cannot process,
book backend is opening

So.... any guesses on who I first pursue as the culrpit?  Evolution or
Empathy?

evolution-3.2.1-2.2.2.x86_64
empathy-3.2.1.1-1.1.2.x86_64
