I have same/similar problem that appears to be related to CJK fonts.  
Whenever I receive mail with some CJK characters, mozilla abrubtly 
terminates.  (One of this list's poster's, D L, has some characters in 
his sig, and when I receive a post from him, mozilla blows off.  I've 
had to filter out his posts.) 

The curious thing is that I have a laptop with basically the same 
installation and it doesn't have this problem.  I haven't figured out 
what the difference is, but I have tried installing updated CJK fonts 
without any success of fixing the problem.

I also did an intensive Google search to find a solution and came up empty.
