Bug Description
The kernel is constantly crashing when I'm using Evolution and saving attachments.
This exception is reproducable. I have to boot my machine, to get it correctly
running again.
The problem seems to be the preemptive option which is enabled.
I don't know if it affects other applications, too. Evolution seems to be the
most prominent one...
See the trace below!

Which version of the kernel are you running?
dpkg -l linux-image-`uname -r`
This sounds like bug #11844
