I assume 2.02. 

I don't want to send you on a pointless chase so the following is
somewhat speculative.

I have had no problems since I rebuilt the RPMs (ev and data-server) to
target=i686 (which could be entirely coincidental). This also picked up
some additional build dependencies that MIGHT be run dependencies.

The README in the src is inaccurate. I found (when originally trying to
build from source) that you really need a number of Gnome 2.8 packages
that aren't detected as unmet dependencies by configure.

In any event, 2.02 is running flawlessly.
