I've just run across another hint on my problems with flist on linux
segfaulting.

[snip]

Another observation (also on Linux 2.0.33 and 2.1.96+):

flist segfaults on me every once in a blue moon.  I use

  flist -all -recurse -noshowzero

to show all my new mail.  I have found that if one of my .mh_sequences
has an cur entry that points to a non-existent message ... flist
segfaults (I think that's right).  Remove the entry (or the errant
.mh_sequences) and the problem disappears.

I have yet had the time to track it down (it doesn't *always* do it).
Next time it does I'll pay closer attention to it and see if I can't
track it down.  strace is my friend... :)
