Package: mutt Version: 1.5.6-20040907+3 Followup-For: Bug #262272 This crash happens to me every day, probably three times a day. Finally I got annoyed and built mutt from debian sources, and put gdb on it:

Please let me know what else I can do to help. It's obviously a NULL pointer dereference but I don't know enough about the data structures to know whether that's the symptom of an even bigger problem. I'm rather comfortable with gdb, and like I said, get this crash about every three hours (nine hour work day, three times a day). It always dies with the status line saying "Sorting mailbox..." and always only for IMAP mailboxes. I only have one mailbox, period, and it's IMAP (the server is actually Exchange).
