caillon: why are your people filing bugs with useless crash data. please fix bugbuddy to say to file the bug in your bug tracker.

Probably due to lack of -debuginfo installed...

if they had debug info, would we get stack traces, or garbage+info that could make stack traces?

clearly if they don't have debug info, bug buddy should tell them to install debug info OR report it to you guys, and never suggest reporting it to us.

Sorry, I had no intention of starting a war between whoever you guys are. Anyhow, if it can be of any help, my problems disappeared after uninstalling enigmail. I can also recreate the problem by moving my .thunderbird directory and restart thunderbird. After adding a dummieaccount and installing enigmail the problem appears again.

If you're experiencing it with enigmail binaries, you need to install compat-libstdc++33 (?) or something like that.  Someone should really tell the enigmail folks to stop linking against things that aren't shipped on modern OSes.

Excellent. Installing compat-libstdc++-33.i386 did the trick. Thanx

yum install compat-libstdc++-33.i386
