Ouch – bad news!  Are these crashes reproducible, i.e. is there any message which does *always* trigger the crash?  Did you try to run balsa in gdb, and did the crash produce a usable backtrace (enter “bt full” in gdb)?

Samples which trigger the crashes would be extremely helpful!

Probably the easiest way: create a new mbox mailbox, copy some of the offending messages to it, and then gzip the file and send it to my private address.  As I can test on Debian and Ubuntu only, maybe Peter is also interested in it?

*Please remember to remove sensitive private information from the mbox file before submitting it!*

Could you also include the configure command line, e.g by calling “head -10 /path/to/balsa/git/folder/config.log”?

Thanks in advance,
Albrecht.
