The problem ist also in Thunderbird 15 still present! I get a backtrace like in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=433530:

A solution would be nice, because currently I can't use Thunderbird at all. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to thunderbird in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/507089 Title: thunderbird shredder always segfaults on startup with LDAP auth in nsswitch Status in SeaMonkey: all-in-one Internet application suite: New Status in Mozilla Thunderbird Mail and News: In Progress Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: thunderbird If nsswitch.conf is set with: passwd: compat ldap group: compat ldap shadow: compat ldap My ldap config does work as I'm using it for login authentication. thunderbird-3.0 always segfaults: 0 %> thunderbird-3.0 Segmentation fault 0 %> thunderbird-3.0 --g-fatal-warnings Segmentation fault 139 %> thunderbird-3.0 -options Segmentation fault 139 %> thunderbird-3.0 -safe-mode Segmentation fault 139 %> thunderbird-3.0 -ProfileManager Segmentation fault 139 %> ...even with no .thunderbird-30 dir: %> thunderbird-3.0 -ProfileManager *INFO* No /users/bedge/.thunderbird-3.0 detected.
