I don't know what caused it to crash, but when I came back in the morning I saw
"core dumped" in the terminal, and thunderbird quit.  Obtaining a bt showed this:

Reproducible: Didn't try
Steps to Reproduce:
Could you try to reproduce and provide TalkBack incident ID?
Severity: normal → critical
Keywords: crash
reporter: the stack seem to indicate the app was trying to quit...
erm, forget that, we need a real stack trace, getiid should be a terminal node,
showing up in the stack trace as it does means the stack isn't useful to us
mortals (and i sometimes can tolerate bogus stacks).
I'm sorry, but I no longer use mozilla-thunderbird (not related to this bug). 
I've switched to ximian's evolution.  I can no longer test this bug.
I have had crashes when I haven't been interacting with Thunderbird on my work
machine for a long time. It seems to be more of a problem when my SSH connection
back home dies (which I tunnel my mail over), but if I just kill my SSH
connection it doesn't seem to bother Thunderbird. Perhaps it is when the work
connection goes down, killing my SSH connection that does it. I suppose it
depends on if PuTTY does anything different on a user invoked quit to a forced
bail out.

It has happened over night and a couple of times yesterday with 1.0, but
unusually I didn't have the opportunity to send any talkback. I will switch back
to a build from a couple of days ago and see if I can come up with anything if
you like.

This is on Windows XP FYI.

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
