Also fails with Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20051206 Mozilla Sunbird/0.3a1+ running on debian linux.

I used the nightly tinderbox builds that were build with
  ac_add_options --enable-static
  ac_add_options --disable-shared

Potential causers: bug 236617 or 315436.

Seems that there is no talkback in Sunbird. I'll try to reproduce with a debug build.

Attachment: callstack after startup crash

Did a debug build based on 2005-12-06 trunk on WinXP.
Attachement shows callstack after Sunbird is restarted with imported event from testcase.ics and js.o.strict set to true.
Hope this helps. I can attach the crash dump file too if needed.
