before starting X, do 'ulimit -c unlimit'. This will allow apps to core dump. When it dumps, mail ME the file, not the list. > If you're curious, the things I did to get to the crash in that > particular instance were start sylpheed, go to inbox, choose 'search...' > from the edit menu, type 'mozilla' in the subject field, press 'search', > click 'yes' to 'reached end of inbox; search again from beginning', > *boom*. These actions *always* end in a crash. this is the exact same problem was before. Dammit! Dammit!
