system hangs are not crashes so i wouldnt have expected it to generate a
crash report. Please rename .mozilla-thunderbird to
.mozilla-thunderbird.old and try again. If that fails pleae remove and
purge the package than remove the 2 .mozilla-thunderbird directories and
see if that helps. This is not a thunderbird proboblem but seems more
like a local problem.
