Hold everything: I have an old unstable i386 installation on a portable 
hard drive. I haven't used it for a long time, and I don't normally use
it with this netbook, but it will boot, and today I did a full upgrade
and then tried claws-mail: it worked perfectly. It's a larger installation,
but the claws-mail dependencies are the same versions as for the netbook
native installation.

So presumably the netbook installation has a broken package, maybe with a 
corrupt file. It isn't claws-mail itself, I've reinstalled that.

Sorry to bother you. I'd completely forgotten this old drive, or I'd have
tried this experiment much sooner. 

Best regards,
Joe
