I was using mutt for a long time without any problems. A few days ago I decided to upgrade to mutt1.0pre2i and now I am doomed. Mutt opens the defaultmailbox ($mail) and shows me the mails. as soon as I want to open another mailbox or quit mutt (so when mutt has to close the current mailbox) it crashes: segmentation-fault (core dumped) I cant fix this. I tried to downgrade to 0.95i again. I tried to start mutt -n to avoid errors in my muttrc. I tried several kernels. I upgraded my local mailer (procmail) to its newest version. no help. and now it gets weired. I restored a old mailbox from a backup and mutt can open/close it without any problem. but as soon as any new mail is appended to the mailbox (no matter if mutt is running or not) and I want to close the mailbox, I get the error. I transfered a mailbox, that crashes mutt to another system, where mutt is installed and it can handle it without problem. also pine can handle the mailboxes (it justs adds it usual DO NOT DELETE-mail). after a mailbox opened with pine I can open/close the box in mutt again, but as soon as a new mail arrives mutt will crash again. it looks like the mailbox has an error, but only mutts on this special machine has this troubles. I looked into the mailbox and it looked like a mailbox should look like. I tried to repair the mailbox with formail -ds : no help. I reinstalled mutt many times. I searched my whole system for other troubles but all other things seems to work normal. my system dont give me any idea that there would be somehing wrong. I simply dont know where I should continue trying to fix this. I need mutt and I want it. (I have to handle a few mailboxes with quite a lot mail each day) another point that might be of interest: * When I upgraded from mutt0.95i to mutt1.0pre2i I installed the compressed-folder-patch which didnt work (I got the above error when closing a compressed box) and since then I cant get back to a running mutt. (I didnt install the patch again. all my troubles are with standard-distributed mutt) * I can send mails out of mutt * when I postpone a message and then want to recall it, I come to the above error. ---------------- my system: linux based on redhat5.2, kernel 2.2.12 core-backtrace with gdb: #0 0x400ac1f1 in _IO_old_file_close_it (fp=0x80bfe88) at oldfileops.c:143 #1 0x400a7517 in freopen (filename=0x80c3a10 "/home/pilsl/mail/inbox.1999-week36", mode=0x8098420 "r+", fp=0x80bfe88) at freopen.c:53 #2 0x806a0bc in mbox_sync_mailbox (ctx=0x80c8958) at mbox.c:682 #3 0x806f12b in sync_mailbox (ctx=0x80c8958) at mx.c:719 #4 0x806f544 in mx_close_mailbox (ctx=0x80c8958) at mx.c:873 #5 0x8058803 in mutt_index_menu () at curs_main.c:746 #6 0x80690cd in main (argc=1, argv=0xbffffd54) at main.c:680 if you need any more debuggin-information, please explain it thumb-mode how I can get it due I´m no programmer at all.
