Re: segfault

[Mat Withers <mat withers 4thwave co uk>]

I seem to get a segfault when sending mail both with 0.6.0 and the latest
cvs version. The error I get from gdb with the cvs version is:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x8071b30 in address_to_gchar (addr=0x0) at misc.c:65
65	  if (addr->personal)

		Hope this helps
