nothing special, I'm allready was thinking that the changed linker flags
will not be the solution.
Unfortunately such bugs are hard to find unless we are unable to provoke
such a behavior of Icedove. I was asking you to see if this ugly bug is
allready on the table.

Maybe, we are glad to have currently get the 24.3.0 into testing and
Christoph can provide a new upload with the resent released 24.4.0 maybe
this weekend. With this we would leave in afew days the version 17 in
stable-security and have only one version all over.  I thought the
backtrace with a current version will probably better than searching and
comparing with an older version because the original source has changed.

I have no clue, my last crash is months ago. I would say I have a
moderate amount of mails, sometimes 10-20 mails on other days up to 60.
But I don't use News, RSS or Chat on this.

Indeed, Mozilla is forcing their FirefoxOS and only 4-5 persons working
on Thunderbird (as told on the Fosdem this year). And this persons
doesn't really "working" on new special features. Most of the work is
code cleanup and addaptions on the other changes depended on Firefox,
xulrunner, nss and so on.

Icedove has hugh blob on source files and the internal structure is hard
to understand.

Thanks for your feedback!

Carsten
