Here's the bonsai URL for the regression range: http://bonsai.mozilla.org/cvsquery.cgi?treeid=default&module=ThunderbirdTinderbox&branch=HEAD&branchtype=match&dir=&file=&filetype=match&who=&whotype=match&sortby=Date&hours=2&date=explicit&mindate=2007-05-28+02&maxdate=2007-05-29+04&cvsroot=%2Fcvsroot. 

The font patches are really the only thing that's jumping out at me.

Anything I can do to help identify my problem for you technical folks?  I'm not really very technical but I'll try.  It doesn't offer me Talkback, just Microsoft reporting.  

Is there a possibility that a fix for bug 377950 will deal with this?

I reverted to 20070328 (installation program I have on my desktop ready for a quick revert because of various earlier bugs), then back to 20070529 but it still crashed on startup.

Just downloaded version 3.0a1pre (20070530) using "Help - Check for Updates" and on installing it I no longer get a crash.

I'm marking this bug as fixed.

Resolving as WORKSFORME since we don't know what patch fixed this.

I tried the 20070530 build, both as a separate install, and by installing 20070528 and using "Help - Check for Updates" and got the same crash both times.  I've now reverted back to 20070528 for now and it seems stable.
