I just re-emerge mutt and when I try to start it I get: Reading /home/joseph/.maildir/inbox...Segmentation fault I've tried to emerge mutt with flagas: pop mobs and it compile just fine but when I tried to start it I get "...Segmentation fault" I run: strace -ff -o mutt.trace mutt How do I add attachment? the file >16Kb too long to post. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.mutt 2. 3.

Please, attach a backtrace, post `emerge -pv mutt` and emerge --info output; thanks. http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/backtraces.xml
The problem is caused by compiling mutt with extra flags like for eg. 'mbox, pop' flags, it could be some other flags as well I didn't test them all. What is happening is that mutt-1.5.x has a caching header build in and it is activate by example: set header_cache="~/.mutt_headercache/" If that statement is enable (and most likely everybody will take advantage of it) after recompiling "mutt" with new falgs the structure of the mutt is changing but the 'cache' is not reflecting it and displays statement: ...Segmentation fault without any other information. The solution is to delete the cache-files. So it would be a good idea if the program print out extra line with that error message: "Delete your cache file and try again" In addition it would good idea to remind user to delete their cache file after recompiling mutt. Just one extra line of information for the user during compiling will save others a lot of time.

Step to reproduce the bug. 1. enable header_cache in muttrc set header_cache="~/.mutt_headercache/" #any directory, make sure that directory contains any cache. 2. add flags mutt: pop mbox /etc/portage/package.use mail-client/mutt pop mbox But I think pop flag is causing this problem, I had mutt compiled with pop. I re-compile mutt by adding mbox flag and it did not crash. I remove both flags, recompile the mutt and got ...Segmentation fault So to reproduce this but, include pop flag and emerge mutt or if you have pop flag compiled IN, remove that flag and re-compile mutt. Mutt_cache directory have to have some data in it. Below is emerge -pv mutt These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!
