It's happened several times with this version - sending any mail at all causes
the seg fault.   It crashes in the same way with my compiled version or with
the RPM from the website.

It is here.  It's consistent as heck.  The only way I can send out mail is if I
use the older version of Balsa.  This is with sending a NEW message, but it
also happens with trying to reply as well.

I have no idea - whatever the default is for english.    

English (en_GB, iso-8858-1)  ??  (Not sure if this is the correct answer, but
it's what Balsa tells me from the Language menu.  


> + 2. version of glibc?

rpm -q glibc
   glibc-2.2-12
   glibc-2.1.3-22

I'll uninstall 2.1.3-22 and report if the situation is resolved. 


> + 3. you you have a separate iconv library installed?

Not to my knowledge.   There appears to be iconv in my bin directory...

iconv -V
     iconv (GNU libc) 2.1.3

Hmm, I see a pattern here, Pawel.  I'll report back once I've removed the old
glibc and see if that solves the problem.  


-------------------

OK, I've removed glibc-2.1.3-22, and in so doing that also removed
/usr/bin/iconv

I started with the tarball for Balsa, compiled with --enable-esmtp and have the
same results.    


Meanwhile if you have any suggestions for me to try, please let me know.
