After upgrading mutt to 1.5.11+cvs20060126-1 I too experience problems 
with mutt.  Sending mail or opening large mailboxes cause segfaults.
I tried rebuilding mutt with dpkg-buildpackage several times to no avail.

Running mutt with -d <debuglevel> doesn't shed any light on the reason 
for the crashes.  Has anyody else experienced this or does anybody have 
a suggestion to allow me to use mutt again?

TIA
