Description Christoph Probst 2003-07-24 05:49:36 UTC

Switch on "edit_headers" in your muttrc, write a Mail containing a Lines-Header, 
e. g.

| From: <fromname>
| To: <toname>
| Lines: 10

save, exit your editor and see the segfault:

| "/tmp/mutt-sanacht-23229-1" 4L, 41C written
| Segmentation fault
| chris@sanacht chris $

I've verified this is still true in 1.5.5.1 and submitted the bug upstream.

Potential fix

This patch appears to resolve the segfault, though I'm not 100% confident that
there aren't other lurking issues with specifying a Lines: header.
