Bug Description
I am using Sylpheed, an E-mail client, in precise amd64. I've just installed precise and installed Sylpheed just after completed installation, however, I encountered the trouble that Sylpheed crashes abruptly just after fetching E-mails.
The trouble happens when Sylpheed starts fetching E-mails, and it crashes just after displaying collecting a few mails. I checked my directory of sylpheed settings, .sylpheed-2.0, and found tmp/tmp.0000001 as a remnant of unsuccessful mail retrieval.
Upon execution from terminal, the error messages "Illegal instruction (core dumped)" has been displayed.
More curiously, this bug now not appears. I manually installed sylpheed 3.1.4 compiled from source code and confirmed it worked flawlessly (that is, no corrupted parts in setting files and mail boxes). After this conformation, I launched Sylpheed installed by the system, and it works ...
I am using precise, including ia32 and amd64 in several systems and keeps nearly same settings and same applications in them. That means Sylpheed is used in my several computers. However, I have not encountered such a strange trouble.
