Ah, I'm afraid checking one by one would be rather slow.  This machine
uses packages from experimental where possible, so there will be a lot
of differences along those lines.

Message #5 shows the libraries I was using a couple of months ago,
when I had the same trouble.  There's something weird going on,
though, because as I mentioned running icedove with libc from sid once
fixes it until the next time icedove is touched or an extension is
installed.  There's probably some weird dynamic linker magic involved
somewhere.

I'll try installing sid in a vm and see if I can reproduce it there.
