[Bug 1086847] Re: mutt (libtokyocabinet8) crashes when fetching IMAP-headers

In 1.5.21-6.4ubuntu2.1, if you edit debian/rules, and change HCACHE_DB
to from tokyocabinet to anything else (be that bdb, gdbm or qdbm),
rebuild the package and install the new package, the crash goes away.
This is almost certainly a bug in libtokyocabinet.  Note that I also had
to add --enable-external-dotlock to the configure switches for some
reason, otherwise the package doesn't build, at least with mutt
1.5.21-6.4ubuntu2.1.  Please change mutt to rely on Berkeley DB or gdbm
instead of tokyocabinet.

Title:
  mutt (libtokyocabinet8) crashes when fetching IMAP-headers

Status in mutt package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  mutt (1.521-5) crashes very often when fetching IMAP-headers. "Hole
  Nachrichten-Köpfe... 187/241 (77%)Speicherzugriffsfehler" (Same
  problem with mutt-patched)

  This happens with several IMAP-servers on several mailaccounts.

  I compiled mutt agains Berkeley DB 4.8.30 and this does not happen. So
  I think the real problem is libtokyocabinet8 (1.4.37-6.1) which is
  used fr the headercache.

  Using:
  DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
  DISTRIB_RELEASE=12.04
  DISTRIB_CODENAME=precise
  DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS"

  Same Problem on:
  DISTRIB_ID=LinuxMint
  DISTRIB_RELEASE=12
  DISTRIB_CODENAME=lisa
  DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Linux Mint 12 Lisa"
