Some time after upgrading to notmuch 0.6, notmuch new suddenly started
failing, with this backtrace: (this is on DragonFly BSD)

Program terminated with signal 6, Aborted.

I'm not a C++ programmer, but what I notice that's odd about this is
that the exception *should* be caught by a catch, but isn't being.

Because I couldn't figure out what is going wrong here, I switched back
to notmuch 0.5, which worked.

This may have to do with some errors I saw from notmuch search about a
temporary draft file created by emacs no longer existing. Or that may be
unrelated - I have no idea.
