(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Composition, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.21) Gecko/20090518 SeaMonkey/1.1.16
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.21) Gecko/20090518 SeaMonkey/1.1.16

When I create a new email with attachment of type IDL or ODT and save it as a draft (either with button Save or automatic draft save), the application crashes. It also crashes when sending such an email. Probably it tries to save the email to folder Sent and crashes. The email is not sent.

It works correctly with emails without attachment or with TXT or GIF files.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Compose a new email.
2.Attach an ODT file (OpenOffice Text).
3.Save the draft.
Actual Results:  
Application crashed. Report in terminal:

/usr/libexec/mozilla-launcher: line 119: 20779 Segmentation fault      $(type -P aoss) "$mozbin" $xulparams "$@"
seamonkey-bin exited with non-zero status (139)

Expected Results:  
Draft is saved to folder Draft.

Attachment: debug info after Save draft

I forgot to mention that I'm using Gentoo Linux.
I recompiled SeaMonkey with flag USE=debug. It activated these options:
  --enable-debug
  --enable-tests
  --disable-reorder
  --enable-debugger-info-modules=ALL_MODULES

This build is not crashing, it saves the draft correctly. But it writes a lot of information into terminal. When used without terminal it beeps a lot. That's annoying.
In the attachment is the debug info after I hit the button Save. There are some assertions. Hopefully, it helps.

Is this an official 32bit build from our downloads server (ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/seamonkey/releases/) or a contributed 64bit build? x86_64 builds are not officially supported.

It's 32bit build from source.
http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/releases/1.1.16/seamonkey-1.1.16.source.tar.bz2
mirror://gentoo/seamonkey-1.1.15-patches-0.1.tar.bz2

Packages seamonkey-1.1.16.en-US.linux-i686.tar.gz or seamonkey-1.1.16.en-US.linux-i686.installer.tar.gz are works fine?

Both packages are working fine.
Obviously only the compilation from source is not OK.

I was looking around for a similar bug on Gentoo Bugzilla. There seem to be a crash related to gcc 4.3.2 and -O2. See 
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=265642#c3
and
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=265642#c5

I recompiled without -O2 and with -fno-strict-aliasing and it's working OK.
