0kay, I found it (~/.mutt/cache/headers).
Deleted it, and not seeing the segfaults.
I also replaced mutt with mutt-patched.
Either one of these may have been the solution, for all I know.
And, neither might be. The segfaults were rather random.
I just haven't seen one since these two actions, but that's all in 
like the past 30 minutes (have tried all accounts on both of these
servers in question).

If I see any more, I'll return to this thread.
If not, I'll likely return and mark this RESOLVED (if I remember).
