BUG: 1.4.3 hangs when accessing top level documentation

[Leif Harcke <lharcke Stanford EDU>]

Hello,

Balsa 1.4.3 compiled on Red Hat 7.3 (latest packages) hangs when selecting
any documentation item from the "help" menu.  Thought at first that this
was the libpspell bug, but /usr/lib/libpspell.la was changed as follows:

# Libraries that this one depends upon.
#   Fri 09 May 2003 - Leif Harcke <lharcke@stanford.edu>
#   changed to remove -lc dependancy and -lgcc (duplicate) entry
#   to see if it keeps balsa-1.4.3 from crashing
#dependency_libs=' /usr/lib/libltdl.la -ldl
-L/usr/src/build/73920-i386/BUILD/pspell-.12.2/modules/.libs
/usr/lib/libpspell-modules.la -L/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96
-L/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/../../.. -lstdc++ -lm -lgcc -lc
-lgcc'
dependency_libs=' /usr/lib/libltdl.la -ldl
-L/usr/src/build/73920-i386/BUILD/pspell-.12.2/modules/.libs
/usr/lib/libpspell-modules.la -L/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96
-L/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/../../.. -lstdc++ -lm -lgcc'

and the machine rebooted, but balsa still hangs.  Stacktrace follows.
