Yes, I can reproduce it here, although this seems to be caused by
the tab in the "To:" field rather than the one in "From:". Formail
segfaults in free() at formail.c:625:
624 if(!(fp2=findf(fldp,&iheader))||fp2->id_len<fp2->Tot_len-1)
625 *afldp=fldp->fld_next,free(fldp),fldp= *afldp; /* remove all */
626 else /* except the ones mentioned */
627 fldp= *(afldp= &fldp->fld_next); /* as -i ...: */
(the actual stack trace is uninteresting). Personally, I'd call this an
allocation bug.
