Re: imap/2121: cache makes mutt crash if there are too many messages

please check out mutt from cvs and compile it using:
export CFLAGS='-O2'
aclocal -I m4 && autoheader2.50 && (cd m4 && make -f Makefile.am.in )
&& automake && autoconf2.50
./configure --enable-hcache --enable-imap --with-slang --with-ssl
make AUTOHEADER=autoheader2.50 AUTOCONF=autoconf2.50
after that run it within valgrind using:
valgrind --tool=memcheck --run-libc-freeres=no --num-callers=10
--show-reachable=yes --leak-check=yes --error-limit=no --log-file=/tmp/valgrind
/path/to/mutt
on the same machine and send me the logfile in /tmp if you want to get
resolved this issue. I am currently don't read mutt-dev alot, so cc me
if you want fast feedback.
