Title:
  thunderbird shredder always segfaults on startup with LDAP auth in
  nsswitch

Status in SeaMonkey: all-in-one Internet application suite:
  New
Status in Mozilla Thunderbird Mail and News:
  Confirmed
Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: thunderbird

  If nsswitch.conf is set with:

  passwd:         compat ldap
  group:          compat ldap
  shadow:         compat ldap

  My ldap config does work as I'm using it for login authentication.

  thunderbird-3.0 always segfaults:

  0 %> thunderbird-3.0
  Segmentation fault
  0 %> thunderbird-3.0 --g-fatal-warnings 
  Segmentation fault
  139 %> thunderbird-3.0 -options           
  Segmentation fault
  139 %> thunderbird-3.0 -safe-mode
  Segmentation fault
  139 %> thunderbird-3.0 -ProfileManager
  Segmentation fault
  139 %> 

  ...even with no .thunderbird-30 dir:

   %> thunderbird-3.0 -ProfileManager 
  *INFO* No /users/bedge/.thunderbird-3.0 detected. Create it from /users/bedge/.mozilla-thunderbird
  Segmentation fault
  0 9:12:52 bedge@ice  ~
  139 %> 

  Changing nsswitch back to NIS works:

  passwd:         compat nis
  group:          compat nis
  shadow:         compat nis
