Sorry for the long delay.

Well, after recompiling several ports the situation seems to get relxed, 
but thunderbird3 is crashing on SMP boxes more frequent than on non-SMP 
FreeBSD 8/amd64 boxes. So far.
I tried to rebuild via portmaster every thunderbird-dependencies (ports 
on which tunderbird3 depends on, if my English isn't clear). No success.
I realise those crashes when I try to abort message sending, then 
thunderbird crahes immediately. Sometimes it vanishes silently, leaving 
a dead-mark (core dump) behind. No idea what's going wrong.

On my private slwo UP box (FBSD 8.0/amd64 STABLE) thunderbird is stable, 
but really slow ...

Oliver
