[Evolution] "Backend is busy" messages, all the time

[Chris G <cl isbd net>]

Whenever I run evolution (well, when I run it from a terminal) I see
lots of messages like the following:-

    (evolution:20428): calendar-gui-WARNING **: gnome-cal.c:910: Could not create the query: Backend is busy 

    (evolution:20428): calendar-gui-WARNING **: e-cal-model.c:1658: Unable to get query

I've been ignoring these but I've just realised it might explain my
inability to get dates in the Calendar in list-view to show in the
correct (European DD/MM/YYYY) format.

So, why am I getting these "Backend is busy" warnings, it doesn't
happen just sometimes, it happens every time I go to a Calendar view.

The evolution data server is running:-

    chris$ ps -ef | grep evo
    chris     7150     1  0 Mar04 ?        00:00:00 /usr/lib/evolution/evolution-data-server-2.24

    chris    20428 19949  0 14:33 pts/1    00:00:01 evolution

... in fact there are two of them, is that the problem maybe?  I've
just killed the old (Mar04) one and I'm seeing exactly the same errors.
