I am running a just-installed-last-week i386 4.3-release (planning to
go to 4.3-stable next week), using the alpine-1.00 package as a mail
client, connecting via imap to a Microsoft Exchange server at my workplace.
With this setup, I can reproducibly core-dump alpine by trying to export
certain messagges from my inbox or saved-mail folders to a local file,
and using Tab to try to autocomplete the export pathname. The core-dump
happens immediately after I enter the Tab. Typing the full export
pathname manually (with no autocompletion) works fine (no core-dump).
This problem did *not* occur with the prececessor pine-4.64p4 package
in the same setup on 4.2-stable.
A gdb stack-trace of the latest core-dump (trying to export a message
to the pathname msg/misc/nanaimo.people with Tab typed after the "i"
shows this:
(gdb) bt
#0 0x0c2fe28d in kill () from /usr/lib/libc.so.43.0
#1 0x0c3206d4 in __stack_smash_handler (func=0x3c020e9e "pico_fncomplete",

#4 0x0de80100 in ?? ()
#5 0x00000000 in ?? ()
(gdb)
What further information should/could I supply to help in tracking down
(fixing) the problem?
ciao,
