Same problem here. Running 32bit Ubuntu 9.10 *without* NFS homedir but with LDAP NSS enabled (my user logs in on a network).
Thunderbird 3.0 RC2 (and beta 4 too) refuses to start. With gdb enabled, only a "Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault." will be visible, but program doesn't die. Even a strace doesn't give answer..
Workaround which I found on a OpenSuse website and seems to work:
sudo getent passwd ldap_user_name >> /etc/passwd
Thunderbird can now start.
I downloaded Thunderbird from mozilla.org website, so no package or something :)
