Exact same problem. I'll get you a backtrace or a core file when I've got time to recompile with debug symbols. Poke me on irc if you want to.
Upgraded to thunderbird 1.5.0.5 and the same thing happens.. Seems like this is a common bug with the Mozilla suite. I think this happens because of my recent gcc update, i'm trying to rebuild all firefox deep dependencies, let's see what happens then.
1.5.0.7 was recently added, which includes a number of security fixes. Can people please re-test with this latest release and report back? Thanks.
nope, version 1.5.0.7 crashes anyway on my machine. it's still the same segmentation fault error in FAMMonitorDirectory()
Please reopen if the problem persists with firefox 1.5.0.9, tecrel that backtrace would be great if you can reproduce with the latest stable.
