Fred - I was unable to get a 64 bit version of XMail to work except when it was compiled in debug mode under FreeBSD 6 (and likely 7 - I haven't tested that). So if you are running a 64 bit version of FreeBSD, then that would fit exactly what I was seeing (core dumps with regular binary, no problem with debug version).
I mentioned this to Davide at the time, but it was likely a low priority issue and I think was simply forgotten about as I was able to resolve it by compiling XMail as a 32 bit binary on another system, which had no problems in either debug or non-debug mode.
