I post my problem again, but now in a readable format.
I dont know if post to mutt or mutt-dev, so I crosspost to both:
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: Sorting Mailbox... 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.
Other mailprograms like pico can handle the box without any problems and
I discovered that mutt only crashes on somehow changed mailboxes.
When opening a box that was opened by pico before or was restored from
an old backup, mutt has no problems until a new mail arrives in the
mailbox (no matter if mutt is running or not) - then mutt will crash
like described above.
It seems that mutt cannot sort the mailboxes. I tried the sort=unsorted
- command in my muttrc and then the error message when closing a mailbox
changed to: Writing Mailbox... segmentation-fault (core dumped)
When installing mutt 1.0pre2i from a rpm-package I dont have the above
troubles !! mutt works like an angel, but it is compiled for use with
pgp2 and I need pgp5 so this is no solution to me.
At the end I solved my problem with compiling mutt on another machine
and transfer the mutt-binary to my machine and now use mutt without
troubles.
So its for sure, that there are some libs wrong on my system, but I
havent any idea which one it could be.
When compiling mutt I get no errors but a lot of the following, which
should not cause the problem: .. /usr/share/i18n/charmaps/ISO_8859-1,GL:
No unicode value for `<i-acute>'. ..
I also downloaded mutt from different mirrors to make sure that there is
no corrupted source. I also tried to compile with slang instead of
ncurses - no help.
Though I can use mutt now IŽd like to know whats the problem here.
any advice is welcome
thanks,
peter
