I now think that my problem was caused by lack of disk space - culprit was a different application. Prior to discovering this I uninstalled TB 17.06 and installed Daily (i.e. TB 24.0a 2013-06-12) which also crashed in the same way but became stable when I removed my second imap account from it. Anyway after I freed up some 2G of disk space I have now added back the second imap account and Daily runs happily.

This behaviour happens for all the users on this PC, also if they don't have any thunderbird-profile yet. We have similar systems in our whole office. The Ubuntu installation is rsynced to all desktops (Some also have exact same hardware), but none of the other desktops has this problem. A gdb trace is attached. I have no idea where this is coming from. The previous version of thunderbird (17.0.5) also behaved in the same way.
