I think moz_pis_startstop_scripts is probably a function in
run-mozilla.sh. So I don't think the script part is the problem. This
would need to be run under a debugger to see what's crashing
thunderbird. strace won't help much since the crash is happening
within thunderbird-bin.
Install gdb. It's pretty straightforward except for the install
command: "./configure --prefix=/usr && make && make -C gdb install".
Then run thunderbird under a debugger. The scripts actually
accommodate this already:
thunderbird -g
That should find gdb and run thunderbird-bin through it. When the
crash happens, run "bt" in the debugger. That will give a backtrace
from where the program crashed and we can take a gander at the
thunderbird source and see why it might be crashing.
