I don't have any sid machines right now to try this on, but I grabbed
the updated mutt-patched source and built it on my wheezy setup using
dpkg-buildpackage.  Everything went fine but I still get the segfault
with the updated package.

The only info I've got to add at this point is what showed up in my
dmesg:

[ 6340.496717] traps: mutt[12627] general protection ip:29cc5c6f0d5 
sp:3b3172ecc80 error:0 in libc-2.13.so[29cc5bf8000+182000]

but that's not all that helpful.  If I get a chance, I'll try to capture
more debug information or try to reproduce the problem with gdb
attached again.

Thanks for the update, though.
