I noticed that too, I'm not too familiar with evolution, but it seems
to spawn another process that handles the address book which for
some reason strace doesn't pick up, it must use another method other
than fork to cause that process to spawn up.
Even after I exit evolution that process is running and has the
addressbook file open.
from my debian desktop -
(starting with 0 evolution processes in the process list)
aphro@vmware2:/tmp$ strace -fF evolution 1>/tmp/strace.log 2>&1
aphro@vmware2:/tmp$ lsof | grep address
lsof: WARNING: can't stat() ext3 file system /dev/.static/dev

aphro@vmware2:/tmp$ grep 4456 strace.log
(which means evolution never spawned that process via normal forking,
which I don't recall ever encountering before, must be one of those
new desktop app protocols that seem to be increasingly used)
aphro@vmware2:/tmp$ ps auxw | grep 4456

aphro@vmware2:/tmp$ grep addressbook.db strace.log
The next thing I suggest is stopping evolution, and killing all
evolution processes on the system and starting evolution again and
see if that fixes it.
