New description:
I opened a folder full of 35055 messages (with `mutt -F /dev/null -f
imaps://user@host/bigfolder`). Mutt tried to fetch all the headers to put
it in the cache, but Aborts instead, simply saying "`Error opening
Mailbox*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0x09afbd40 ***`",
and "` Aborted`". I tried again with `-d2` and didn't see anything
obvious. I tried again with `-d5`, and that debug file is attached
(slightly edited so as not to give out passwords). This happened both on
my MacOSX and Debian box (the OSX box didn't crash, but spit out a whole
lot of double-free warnings). The Mac was running CVS HEAD (plus a few
patches) and Debian was running testing mutt (1.5.9-2). The muttdebug file
is available here: http://salinan.memoryhole.net/~kyle/muttdebug0.bz2 (I
tried to attach it, but it was too large.)
>How-To-Repeat:
`mutt -F /dev/null -f imaps://user@host/INBOX/bigfolder` where bigfolder
contains 35055 messages.
