My laptop is i386. I'd build a test package myself, but I'm afraid it
would take days and probably larger disks and RAM than I have available.
I'm postponing the upgrade to wheezy for a few weeks. If you manage
to build a new package, I'll be glad to try it and see if the diagnosis
was correct. Otherwise, I'm ok with the workarounds. Just let me know.

I suppose I'll have to buy a little more RAM, if it's still possible and
it doesn't cost more than a new notebook, or just fall back to Mutt.
I still can't believe that a browser or a MUA require 1 GB RAM to run,
while database engines serving hundreds of concurrent requests run in
under 400 MB without even noticing.
10.0.12 in Wheezy?!? Mozilla has marked FF and TB 17 as ESR weeks ago,
if not months. As a Debian user of fifteen years, I'm still delighted by
its unrivalled ability to ship obsolete-on-arrival releases! :-)
