Yes I think we need to continue on fixing this since my rotten stinking 
workaround doesn't workaround for long anyway.  Thunderbird survived a 
few additional attachments than before, but still dumped a core this 
morning after idling all night when I attempted to attach the files 
indicated below to this very email  :(

Here are some additional details:

- sys is an Asus P4P800, two SATA drives in RAID1 config using the
onboard ICH5 controller, a crappy IDE winchester and a crappy IDE CDROM,
floppy
- dmesg (non debug, sorry) and x.org log attached

Let me know if I can send along anything else.  Bizarre, isn't it?
While googling I saw a fleeting note that pthreads were suspected and
darned if it doesn't die in there.
