Bug Description

If I have to contacts with the same email address evolution crashes when I add the second one.

Specifically: LDAP address book

The situation is that these are business contacts where a manager uses his assistant's email address and does not have one of his own. I wish to have the same email address recorded for both people.

Maybe I should also file a bug/enhancement on ubuntu-bug to do this automatically :)
