Re: Mutt crashing when opening a mail
Salut Benoit,
a quick check here doesn't see 1.5.12 crash -- neither with my
configuration, nor with the default configuration. However, I'd
like to be sure that whatever flaw lies behind this is not present
in current versions of mutt... So:
- Could you try to install mutt 1.5.12 on your system and see
whether the problem persists?
- Could you try whether mutt crashes on your machine even when
invoked with the parameters -R -n -F /dev/null? (These will
disable all the configuration files you have; the -R makes sure
mutt doesn't screw up some mailbox you open with it.)
Could you also try to run mutt with a configuration file that only
contains your PGP-related settings?
- Also, is there a core dump on your machine that you could
investigate? And could you try to upgrade your machine to 1.5.12
or current CVS, and see whether mutt contines to crash?
Thanks,
