I used gdb to trace it. It says:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x402e39ca in funlockfile () from /lib/libc.so.6
So maybe this has something to do with locking. Now I recall that in
order to install mutt as non-root in the remote machine, I have to use
the option
--disable-external-dotlock
Otherwise I kept getting complaints about cannot install certain
things(flock? muttlock?) as non-root.
By contrast, on local machines that works, I have --enable-flock.
BTW, it's nice that the newest mutt have smtp capability, but one thing
I missed from the days I use ssmtp as agent is that mutt doesn't seem to
have an option to leave a log for smtp transactions, unless I get a
terse notice when things doesn't work. It'll be nice if an option is
given for smtp mail logs.
Thanks again.
