gdb backtrace of crash.

Description of problem:

Pan segfaults when the user has configured an external editor, hits F to post a follow-up to a newsgroup, then closes the Pan message window before closing the window in the external editor.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):pan-0.139-2.fc18.x86_64


How reproducible: Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure Pan to edit messages in an external editor. Select emacs.
2. Browse to a newsgroup message in Pan, hit F to compose a follow-up to the group. A window in Pan opens and the message is also opened in the editor window, in this case emacs.
3. Close the new message window in Pan. Leave the main window open.
4. In Emacs, hit C-X # to close the buffer in which the message is being composed.
  
Actual results: Pan segfaults.


Expected results: Pan should do nothing.

Additionally, abrt won't report this bug because of a failure to parse the backtrace so I have submit everything manually.
