Hi all,

I have Thunderbird 2.0.0.21 running on Linux Seaborgium 2.6.28-gentoo-r5 #1 SMP Sat Apr 25 19:53:05 CEST 2009 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.40GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux.
Since a while I can't save or insert any attachments from/into messages. When I hit "save as" or "save all", a dialog box briefly appears but is immediately followed by a crash:

thunderbird-bin exited with non-zero status (139)

Have you tried recompiling Thunderbird? Maybe sync portage and re-emerge it.

I did. I also tried to emerge the binary build, with no success.
Revdep-rebuild does not do anything (no broken libraries).

Huh. Try emerge -pv mozilla-thunderbird and checking out/recompiling all its dependencies. Do you do regular world updates? Also, post your emerge --info.

Tried everything, nothing works. The problem does is manifesting in my other computers.
I've given up and switched to Claws-mail... 8O

I had the same problem. Inserting any attachments into messages was followed by crash.

Solution in my case:

strace -ff -p -v -o debug.thunderbird.txt thunderbird

Now, we got many files like -> debug.thunderbird.txt.XXXX :)

Check the last files for: " killed by SIGSEGV ".

In my case: Last used directory for inserting files was deleted. Thunderbird try to open it and a crash occurred.
