...Well, that's what I *did*, but now that somebody else suggested it, I
tried it again and it worked ;). I'm attaching the results of:
gdb $(which mutt) core &> gdb_output
bt
quit
...to this email. Let me know if that looks like what you want.

What index_format did you use? I can bring them up with the default but
not with my customized one. I fiddled around a little more and here are
the rather odd results (not that sometimes breakage changes based
soleley on a few space characters more or less):
set index_format=" %Z%M \xe2\x94\x82 %-5.5y \xe2\x94\x82 %-70.70s \xe2\x94\x82
%-18.18B \xe2\x94\x82 From %-27.27n \xe2\x94\x82 %-20.20t \xe2\x94\x82 %[%Y %b
%e], %[%l:%M %P]"
#still breaks: set index_format=" %Z%M | %-5.5y | %-70.70s | %-18.18B | From
%-27.27n | %-20.20t | %[%Y %b %e], %[%l:%M %P]"
#doesn't break: set index_format=" %Z%M | %-5.5y | %-70.70s | %-18.18B | From
%-27.27n | %-20.20t"
#doesn't break: set index_format="%[%Y %b %e], %[%l:%M %P]"
#doesn't break: set index_format="%-20.20t | %[%Y %b %e], %[%l:%M %P]"
#doesn't break: set index_format=" %-5.5y | %-70.70s | %-18.18B | From %-27.27n
| %-20.20t | %[%Y %b %e], %[%l:%M %P]"
#doesn't break: set index_format=" %Z%M | %-70.70s | %-18.18B | From %-27.27n |
%-20.20t | %[%Y %b %e], %[%l:%M %P]"
#still breaks: set index_format=" %Z%M | %-70.70s | %-18.18B | From
%-27.27n | %-20.20t | %[%Y %b %e], %[%l:%M %P]"
#still breaks: set index_format=" %-70.70s | %-18.18B | From

...is this the time to apply this item from the FAQ:
Q: Mutt dumps core when I press Ctrl-Compose-Shift-F12
A: So don't do it! ;-)

... ;)?
BTW, thanks for taking the trouble to look at this. Thanks, too, to
whoever it was that caught my previously missing double quote, even
though that didn't end up solving the problem.
