notmuch seg. fault on _thread_add_message

Sun Dec 4 09:35:39 PST 2011

Hi!

Following an alot bug report [1] I created a small python script that
causes a segmentation fault in notmuch:
========================================================================
#!/usr/bin/env python2
import notmuch
db = notmuch.Database(mode=notmuch.Database.MODE.READ_WRITE)
q_new = notmuch.Query(db, 'tag:inbox')
for t in q_new.search_threads():
    pass
========================================================================

With gdb I get the following

Is the NULL on mailbox ok? This code is from gmime. I'm using gmime
2.4.28 and notmuch from git (0.10+58~g1c81e8f).

Kazuo.
