down to #4 (from #2) with 47 crashes.  based on the crash distribution my guess is it's 3-5 people so I doubt this will be a topcrash. however, the fact that we don't see this in any previous builds suggests regression - which is significant and deserving of early QA so we know whether it's likely to develop into something bigger with the RC.

It may help if we again  somehow impress on people that they should file a bug if they crash.

with improvements to Socorro, this has morphed to nsCOMPtr<nsIAbDirFactory>::StartAssignment() | nsDocShell::SetupNewViewer(nsIContentViewer*)

#175 crash for v3.0.1

both signatures are not seen in v3.1.x for the last several months.
nsCOMPtr<nsIAbDirFactory>::StartAssignment() | nsDocShell::SetupNewViewer(nsIContentViewer*)  


perhaps morphed to nsDocShell::SetupNewViewer(nsIContentViewer*) but I have not compared stacks.  Maybe related to core Bug 434403?  Startup crash [@ nsDocShell::SetupNewViewer(nsIContentViewer*)] (causes: Backdoor.Ulrbot.C Trojan, Spector Pro)

all these crashse rare for all thunderbird release
