I did notice that the addressbook.db file remained unchanged throughout all of this, but the addressbook.db.summary was different. I'm thinking maybe it somehow got corrupted by whatever changes went in between 5.1 and 5.2? I've filed a bugzilla report against this with gnome, and, btw, also one for bug-buddy's refusal to submit bugzilla reports on gnome 2.16 because it's "too old." Hopefully they will go somewhere.... Meanwhile, still open to suggestions.... Thanks! mhr
