Bret,

  You are in big trouble, for several reasons. For one, even if you 
figured out what is making Pine crash, you need to report this to the 
person that built Pine from source (it seems that you are using Pine in 
Debian. Debian does not support Pine, since it is nonfree).

  If you are still thinking of using Pine, my advice is that you build it 
by yourself, reconfigure it with your old configuration and hopefully 
everything will work again as it should. The only difference between the 
Debian Pine and the UW Pine is that the former uses a non-stable Maildir 
patch, while the latter does not. However, configuration files, 
directories, etc. differ between the two, so you will have to have some 
patience to reconfigure everything for it to work (maybe using an 
alternate .pinerc, that is a copy of the original, will help).

 Having said all this, there is a version of Alpine for Debian, which does 
not have Maildir support. If you need Maildir support, you can patch it 
yourself.

 In your case I really recommend you to try to find a way to upgrade to 
Alpine (incrementally, if you think that's better). I do not see much 
future in trying to get support for Pine today.

 If you get a clean version of Pine that can be used to reproduce the 
problem, you will have to run Pine under gdb, and send the output of the 
"bt" command, so that we can take a look what your problem is.

 I hope this helps a bit.
