I can reproduce this on Fedora 14 but not Fedora 17.
Note that the rfc822 attachment in the test message claims to be encoded
in base64, so doing a ~b search will cause mutt to decode it, and end up
with a random stream of characters that isn't in rfc822 format. It's
crashing in write_one_header because this stream of characters does not
contain a colon.
I believe this was fixed in mutt rev 5507
(http://dev.mutt.org/trac/ticket/3483),
and in Fedora, in mutt-1.5.21-12
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=833044).
