FWIW, if you install the Thunderbird from the Mozilla website /and/ the
necessary compat-libstdc++ rpm the crash goes away (I've been having the
exact same problem since moving to Fedora 8 and installing the Thunderbird
rpm...should'a known better than to use the rpm)...I'm guessing that the
version from Mozilla doesn't use the Gecko engine?
