NetBSD scuzzbuilder 5.1 NetBSD 5.1 (GENERIC) #0: Sat Nov  6 13:19:33 UTC 2010  builds@b6.netbsd.org:/home/builds/ab/netbsd-5-1-RELEASE/amd64/201011061943Z-obj/home/builds/ab/netbsd-5-1-RELEASE/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/GENERIC amd64

>Description:
re-alpine will crash when attempting to invoke a third-party program, such as a web-browser or GnuPG encryption client only when it is compiled with pthreads (i.e., compiled _without_ --without-pthreads.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install either re-alpine or alpine via pkgsrc and open an email containing a web address or another third-party link (e.g., http://www.netbsd.org/ or http://www.google.com)

The program will then crash with the following output:

Problem detected: "Received abort signal(sig=11)".
Alpine Exiting.


       Attempting to save debug file to /home/cfuhrman/.pine-crash

Alpine can only then be killed via kill -9
>Fix:
Re-compile (re-)alpine _without_ pthreads under NetBSD.  All patches listed here are based off the pkgsrc-2011Q3 tree:

 I do not seem to have this problem. I look at thousands of emails each 
 week that have URLs in them. Sometimes I click on them and open in a 
 browser (elinks).

 Note: I've only seen this issue on NetBSD with versions of (re-)alpine
 compiled with pthreads.  I have not seen this same behavior with Mac OS X
 (Darwin).
