CentOS is a rebuild of RHEL Source code ... we don't release bugfixes of things released by RHEL unless we (CentOS team) somehow introduced the broken code with branding updates. Remember, CentOS is supposed to be bug for bug compatible with the upstream products and if we want things fixed they need to come down from upstream.
Also, the evolution in CentOS-7 is 3.8.5-22.el7_0.1 ... not evolution 3.10.x. That means that the patch from Fedora 20 will likely not apply as is.
If you are sure that it is the same issue then we can open a Red Hat bug and hopefully they will roll in the patch.
Thanks, Johnny Hughes

Hi Johnny,
Many thanks for your reply, and thanks for your description of the streaming approach. I was conceptually aware of this, but I do not know the process to follow.
My own use tests produce exactly the errors described in the bug report, although without real debugging it is hard to say it is the exact same root cause.
Would I need to submit a specific issue report with log files to initiate a Centos/RH process? (I have not done this before, but I do have a software development background, and know that one has to put in the effort, so I am willing to learn this and hopefully help the community).
Regards,
Stan

As I posted in another post on that thread, Red Hat already has that for action in this bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1153723
Should be released soon (7.1 at the latest, maybe sooner if it comes out of QA)
