Looks like a dup of 254527 from looking at the stack.  If it turns out to be a
different crash, we can reopen.

Thommie, can you post what your signature preference looks like in prefs.js? 

I want to see how we were expressing your relative signature path in prefs.js. I
think that's why we crash.

The pref would look something like:

user_pref("mail.identity.id1.sig_file", "C:\\temp\\signature.txt");

[Thommie Rother]

Scott,
here ist the prefs.js value:

user_pref("mail.identity.id1.sig_file",
"/home/thommie/.mozilla/.signatures/[e-mail]");
user_pref("mail.identity.id1.sig_file-rel",
"[ProfD]../../.signatures/[e-mail]");

[Scott MacGregor]

Thanks Thommie. And if you removed those two lines it probably wouldn't crash
anymore either. Hmmm, I was expecting to see some relative paths or symbolic
links in the path name which I'm not seeing here. STrange
