I see that both patches you've send are different from patch-1.5.4.helmersson.incomplete_multibyte which was included in Debian's Mutt until 1.5.5.1-200401. The patch was removed afterwards. Has the issue in #244549 been dealt with in either patch? #244549: mutt hangs when doing a search in a message that contains a <Nul> character due to patch-1.5.4.helmersson.incomplete_multibyte Christoph -- cb@xxxxxxxx | http://www.df7cb.de/
