I think I see the problem here: the rfc822db_*_iterate functions aren't
very safe. I'm making them copy questions/templates rather than just
copying pointers to them so that modifying the lists as we're iterating
over them doesn't cause massive confusion.
I hope to be able to check this in later today, but if I don't manage
that then I'm away visiting family until the 30th. In that case, and if
my untested workaround attempt yesterday turns out not to work after
all, I suggest doing whatever's necessary to work around the problem in
pkgsel in the meantime, and I'll sort it out when I get back.
Cheers,
