Subject: mailutils' /usr/bin/mail segfaults when tab-completing after "cd x"

Date: Fri, 21 Jul 2006 14:45:23 -0400

Package: mailutils
Version: 1:0.6.94-1
Severity: important


i can reliably make GNU mailutils segfault when reading mail from a
simple mbox.  It probably segfaults in many more circumstances, but this is 

make an mbox with a single message in it, and view it with
/usr/bin/mail.

at the first prompt, type "cd x" and hit tab.  you will get a
segmentation fault:

I have not had a chance to debug this further yet, but will happily
provide more information if it would help resolve the problem.
