Package: mutt Version: 1.5.9-1 Severity: normal I have a setup where all my mail goes to a local instance of courier-imap. Then I use mutt to access this imap server. I have a habit of leaving mutt running on my INBOX on my local machine. Then at times during the day I ssh to this machine from whichever unix machine I happen to be near and start a second instance of mutt. It seems that because this other machine uses a different locale, this practice corrupts the header cache and causes a segmentation fault some time later. Here are the exact steps to reproduce this (for convenience, all on one machine):
- set the locale to LANG=en_US.UTF-8 and open mutt to the INBOX on an
imap server
- in another window or terminal, unset any locale (LANG) so that it
defaults to "C" and open a second instance of mutt to the INBOX on
the same imap server
- delete a message on the second instance of mutt
- exit the second instance of mutt
- wait until a new message is received on the first instance
(LANG=en_US.UTF-8) of mutt
- exit the first instance (LANG=en_US.UTF-8) of mutt
- open again the first instance (LANG=en_US.UTF-8) of mutt to the
INBOX on the imap server (this is the point where it will seg fault
unless you delete the header cache)
Thanks for your help!
