Package: mozilla-thunderbird
Version: 1.0.6-3
Severity: normal

I've recently upgraded from mozilla-tunderbird 1.0.2-3 to 1.0.6-3, and
have noticed that with the new version, under certain conditions,
displaying the second HTML message after starting, Mozilla Thunderbird
will segfault.

I've not been able to reproduce the segfault with a plain text message,
nor have I yet been able to reproduce it with HTML email messages
(although I receive very few of these, so I could just not have a
message which causes the problem).

The problem is always reproducible by looking at RSS messages from the
BBC. I have the following feeds presented in a single folder:

http://newsrss.bbc.co.uk/rss/newsonline_uk_edition/world/rss.xml
http://newsrss.bbc.co.uk/rss/newsonline_uk_edition/technology/rss.xml
http://newsrss.bbc.co.uk/rss/newsonline_uk_edition/uk/rss.xml

I have Mozilla Thunderbird set up to display the article rather than the
summary. When any message is selected, the article is displayed
correctly. Moving to any other article in the same folder, Thunderbird
will crash. This has been nearly 100% reproducible with Thunderbird
1.0.6. When it doesn't crash with the second message viewed, it will
crash with the third message viewed, whether this is the same message as
the first one to be viewed or a completely different one. Switching back
to 1.0.2-3, no such segfaults occur.

With 1.0.6, the BBC RSS feeds are not the only things to cause this
becaviour. I also have a feed from
http://usertools.plus.net/status/status.xml, but this only
intermittently causes segfaults. Also, viewing an artivle from the
Plusnet Usertools feed then viewing an article from the BBC does not
cause a segfault.

Please do let me know if I can provide any further information to help
solve this problem.

All the best,
-Dave.
