it's not clear to me that this is icedove, however so far only icedove 
consistently crashes wheezy.

could you please send me specific instructions relating to my problem**?

bearing in mind I am concerned at possibility of corrupting hard drive. as with 
system crash I literally have to unplug to reboot.

thanks again

Jonathan

**I read through:
https://wiki.debian.org/Icedove#Debugging
and found it confusing.

I read through and tried the hello exercise:
How to get a backtrace

on wheezy I tried:

icedove -g [-safe-mode] 2>&1 | tee /tmp/icedove-gdb-$(apt-cache show icedove | 
grep Version | awk '{ print $2 }')_$(date +%F_%T).log

before system crash iirc 
-g was not recognised,

however also no /tmp/icedove file

i also tried :

$ gdb icedove -g [-safe-mode] 2>&1 | tee /tmp/icedove-gdb-$(apt-cache show 
icedove | grep Version | awk '{ print $2 }')_$(date +%F_%T).log

gdb: unrecognized option '-g'



do I need screen?

when to start gdb?

ie so far all I get is crash with no report, strace or whatever.

so what should I be doing, or what am I doing wrong?
