Package: mutt
Version: mutt-1.5.5
Severity: normal

Because of a crash my ~/Maildir/ went corrupted. I had the
same message in new/ and in cur/:

  new/1066234047.2834.undomiel.dawnlink.net
  cur/1066234047.2834.undomiel.dawnlink.net:2,S

In that case, mutt segfaults whenever it tries to check for
newly arrived messages.

According to gdb it crashes in mh.c:1528:

     if (mutt_strcmp (ctx->hdrs[i]->path, p->h->path))

gdb tells me that p->h->path is not accessible.

When I delete the duplicate file everything works fine.

I would suggest, that in case of duplicate file names mutt
either tells the user about it or mutt tries to fix it
itself.
