I found my pine crashing in function mdfntoul in file maildir.c. This function supposes that files in maildir have '.' in their names, and segfaults if they do not. Current Gentoo pine-4.64-r3-chappa-all.patch calls the function from comp_maildir_file when it scans the maildir. On the other hand, current "maildir" and "all" patches from http://www.math.washington.edu/~chappa/pine/patches/ have different comp_maildir_file function, which looks to me like it doesn't suffer from the above problem. Synchronizing Gentoo chappa-all patches with the upstream ones would probably eliminate pine crashes for people who somehow end up with dotless file in their maildirs. On the other hand, guessing from what I found on the web (nothing), this probably isn't very common problem.
Yes, it's been quite some time since I last updated the chappa-all patchset for Gentoo. I have uploaded it with versioned filename, and will add a 4.64-r4 ebuild for pine tomorrow, when the patch file is distributed across distfiles mirrors. Thanks for reminding.
Oops, forgot to comment here. -r4 is in the tree since Sep 19th. :)
