Description Leonid Mamtchenkov 2003-10-27 07:08:44 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031015
Firebird/0.7

Description of problem:
Sending message from mutt results in segmentation fault when mbox (incoming mail
folder) and record (sent mail folder) are set to the same value.  Appropriate
lines from the muttrc:

set mbox=~/Mail/in-inbox
set record=~/Mail/in-inbox

Segmentation happens when I send the message to a very long address, such as,
for example, used to confirm subscription to the mailing list.  I have seen this
problem with securityfocus.com and yahoogroups.com mailing lists.  

Short destination addresses do not cause any problems.  Also, if record is set
to a different folder from mbox, then no problem appears as well.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mutt-1.4.1-1

How reproducible:
Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install mutt.
2. Add these two lines to the ~/.mutt/muttrc file:
set mbox=~/Mail/in-inbox
set record=~/Mail/in-inbox
3. Run mutt.
4. Change to ~/Mail/in-inbox mail foder.
5. Send message to a very long address (about 100-150 characters).

    

Actual Results:  The message is sent and a copy does appear in ~/Mail/in-inbox,
but mutt crashes with "Segmentation fault" message.

Expected Results:  No "Segmentation fault" necessary.

I've tested this with the FC3 mutt, and I can't reproduce the problem.

I wonder if this is a slang issue that's fixed with the switch to
ncurses. Please reopen if this persists on current Fedora Core or RHEL
releases.
