Tried again to see, if related to bug 669894 (SEGV in open). After 2 more fails, reply worked, so not 100% reproducible

Open the error console.
Tools->Web Development->Error Console
Clear all items in the console.
Do your Steps to reproduce.
Do any error messages appear in the Error Console?

Reproduced with Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:8.0a1) Gecko/20110706 Firefox/8.0a1 SeaMonkey/2.5a1

Just 1 message in console:

Works for me:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:8.0a1) Gecko/20110708 SeaMonkey/2.5a1
and:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:2.0.2pre) Gecko/20110520 Firefox/4.0.2pre SeaMonkey/2.1.1pre

Do you have any mail extensions installed that might interfere? Can you try SeaMonkey safe-mode? Help->Restart with Addons disabled.

Restart with addons did not fix it, but new version seems to have fixed it: At least since

Seamonkey 2.7a1.en-US.linux-i686 nightly 20111015

it is working
