KMail crashes on send

[Millenium]

When attempting to send an email from KMail, whether within Kontact or stand-alone, KMail immediately crashes with Signal 6 (SIGABRT), leaving no trace of the email in the Outbox, Sent Mail, or Drafts folder. This has happened every time I have tried to send an email since upgrading KMail from 3.5.8 to 3.5.9 (100% crashing), so KMail/Kontact is unusable for me now to send emails.

This happens when sending an email without an attachment or with an attachment.
The email message was in simple, plain text, consisting of less than 10 lines of text.
The email addressee (there was only one) was not in my address-book.

Expected behaviour: KMail should send the email
Actual behaviour: KMail crashes, and loses the email without a trace.

Ubuntu version: Ubuntu Gutsy 7.10
KDE version: 3.5.9
Kontact version: 1.2.9 ( 4:3.5.9-0ubuntu1~gutsy1~ppa3 )
KMail version: 1.9.9 ( 4:3.5.9-0ubuntu1~gutsy1~ppa3 )

Does the problem still exist in hardy with the newest version of kontact?

This reads like some problem with the spellchecker. Maybe this is related to #258434 and so http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=485597

That crash is not the same as the one in the original post.
Marking invalid since the original poster never responded.
