Just encountered this bug in 12.04. Due to bugs in evolution, I was trying to export my folders
by saving to mbox format, and ran across another evolution bug where it wrote out gigabytes of
data to the mbox file (the folder is only a few megabytes) filling up the home file system. I now have
corrupted files in evolution and chrome and not sure where else (95 files are corrupted).

This is a dangerous bug and needs mentioning in the release notes, especially given how long it's apparently
been in the wild.
