mutt crashes

[Joachim Fahnenmüller <jfahnenmueller@web.de>]

Hi everybody,

I have a fresh install of debian testing.
Mutt crashes every time I try to write a new message (or reply to one) 
at the moment when it should open the editor. No error message, it just 
freezes.
BTW, when I run mutt as root it works ok.
Any ideas?

TIA
