Description Greg Poucher 2005-01-07 16:12:20 UTC

When I run Thunderbird for the first time (or after 'rm -rf ~/.thunderbird') and choose to "Import Preferences, Account Settings, Addressbook and other data from: Netscape 6, 7 or Mozilla 1.x", Thunderbird crashes with the error message:

/usr/bin/thunderbird: line 392: 26684 Segmentation fault      $mozbin "$@"

It looks as if something briefly appears in the wizard (perhaps the next step) immediately before the crash.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge mozilla-thunderbird
1.5. rm -rf ~/.thunderbird   (if you've run it before)
2. thunderbird
3. Click 'Next >'.

Actual Results:  
Thunderbird segfaults without importing anything. If you load it again, it asks
you to set up an account (as it would have done had you declined to import
anything in the first place).

Expected Results:  
Continued with the import wizard.

This happens to me on my AMD64 system running 2.6.9-gentoo-r6
(gentoo-dev-sources) with gcc 3.4.3 and the default-linux/amd64/2004.3 profile,
but it may not be an AMD64-only bug. I'll be attaching a stack trace below.

is this still an issue? If not please close.

This seems to have been fixed, since at least 1.0.4. Sorry to have left it open
for so long.
