Html-related crashes may stem from the GtkHtml libs that you're linking  
with.  You could try upgrading gtkhtml-2 or installing gtkhtml-3, and  
rebuilding 2.2.6.

Apparently Balsa needs a different version of the krb5 libs from  
yours--again, an upgrade might help.  But it might be simpler to  
install from a tarball--you could configure without gss, and the krb5  
problems shouldn't appear.
