User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.4) Gecko/2008102920 Firefox/3.0.4
Build Identifier: 2.0.0.18 (20081105) with hungarian dictionary 1.4

I use hungarian_dictionary-1.4-fx+tb+sm+fn.xpi dictionary files for Thunderbird 2.0.0.18. The hungarian word "árukínálatotokban" (means "in your goods' offer") is unknown for spell checker. But if I right-click on this word or I press the spell check button on the toolbar, Thunderbird totally freezes.
However, the issue can be work-arounded by changing to english dictionary, so the problem can be in the dictionary instead of application itself, I think the application must be stable enough to work with non-perfect (potentially third-party) dictionaries.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install this dictionary: hungarian_dictionary-1.4-fx+tb+sm+fn.xpi (I downloaded it from your web page.)
2. Start composing a new mail.
3. Change to Hungarian language by using the drop-down list at the spell checker button.
4. Write a short text including the word "árukínálatotokban". This word will get red dotted underline, but it's a real Hungarian word.
5/a. To add it to custom dictionary, right-click on this word. The local menu will not appear...
5/b. Press the spell checker button in your new mail window. You cannot release it any more...
6. Try to recover your text which you have written... :-(
Actual Results:  
Thunderbird totally freezes and CPU usage grows up to 100%. Application must be killed manually.

Expected Results:  
"árukínálatotokban" is a valid word, so software's spell checker should accept it. But if the Hungarian dictionary not so perfect yet, software should leave me to add this word to custom dictionary.
Version: unspecified → 2.0

Hello guys. I'm really sorry to post this to ask a question, but... this seems more or less like the bug I'm facing. BUT I use another dictionary (pt-BR) beyond the English one.

Should I open a new bug (or clone this one), since this one status is now RESO INCO?

I anticipate my apologies if I never should have posted here, it just seemed to me that it would be better than opening a new one.
