Mutt crashes (segmentation fault) when the "limit" input contains an unmatched, unescaped open bracket. Since mutt in Gentoo is heavily patched, I am guessing this is the right place to report the bug. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run mutt 2. Press l 3.

Can reproduce the segfault here, thanks. We grabbed a lot of patches from upstream to fix issues, but reporting here is indeed the right approach given the current state of mutt :/
env USE=vanilla emerge mutt Results in a mutt that doesn't crash on the limit. Do you by chance use this pattern regularly so you can tell me that it was introduced in the bugfixes for -r15?
I committed a patch that solves the crash for me. Could you sync in a couple of hours and rebuild mutt-1.5.20-r15 to try if it works for you too? Thanks.
