It crashes on about 1/3rd of start ups for me but this is with a 200,000
message mail collection and existing stuff. A vanilla empty new user mail
doesnt crash.

Annoyingly exec shield off is the "no crash" not the "crash" path

I've not restarted it fast enough for that - sounds more than credible.
