i can't reproduce that segfault. if you can provide instructions,
please do so. what *does* happen is that after hitting an unreadable
directory, browser mode is left and you return to the mailbox(1) OR,
if you had started via e.g. mutt -y, mutt exits without time for
reading the error. i don't think this is desirable.
(1) and, as the last directory is remembered, you can't ever return to
browser mode again.
