Ah, another good data point: The problem disappears when I compile mutt without slang. So there probably are some issues with the support for UTF-8 in slang on 64-bit platforms? I haven't been able to reproduce this yet. Is it fixed for you with mutt-1.5.9 and slang-1.4.9-r2? (In reply to comment #2) > I haven't been able to reproduce this yet. > Is it fixed for you with mutt-1.5.9 and slang-1.4.9-r2? Mutt has been rock solid since I compiled it without slang. Now that you asked me to test it again, I turned on the use flag 'slang', and recompiled slang and mutt with ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~amd64 in order to get the versions you asked to test with. The result is exactly the same as before: - I start mutt, opening my personal mailbox. - I activate thread sorting (ot). - I switch to a different mailbox. - BOOOOOMMM (segmentation violation) I recompiled mutt-1.5.9 without the use flag 'slang', and it works perfectly. Toon, what *version* of slang do you have installed? I asked specifically about 1.4.9-r2. From the ChangeLog, it supposedly contains some UTF-8 fixes. # qpkg -q -I slang sys-libs/slang-1.4.9-r2 * DEPENDED ON BY: nano-1.3.7 newt-0.51.6 mutt-1.5.9 muttng-20050325 ok, mutt-1.5.10 now ignores USE=slang, preferring to always use ncurses. That should solve this problem. (In reply to comment #6) > ok, mutt-1.5.10 now ignores USE=slang, preferring to always use ncurses. That > should solve this problem. I've been using mutt a long time with slang, including 1.5.9, without any problems. I have more problems with ncurses and display artifacts. I think removing the option to build with slang a poor choice. Can we have an option to build with slang again?

Especially because the bug wasn't confirmed on the newest slang-1, much less with slang-2. This is throwing the baby out with the bathwater. |
