I will ask them ... but the single best way would be if we can provide an
initial patch. Further we have to be sure if the bug exists for the version
available from mozilla.org too. Could you please try to figure out if the
problem exists there too?
I am currently trying to debug this to get the exact line number where the crash
occurs. I will let you know this evening if I found something. Would be great if
you can verify the bug for the thunderbird available from mozilla.org.
Thanks for caring,
