What version of gmime is installed ?

Do the following on command line (the l33t... below is 
actually a date 'Tue May 15 23:10:56 2012 UTC').

notmuch search --output=threads 1337123456..

and then execute

notmuch show --format=json thread:000000000000XXXX

(take the XXX from the thread list outputted before
-- try many of those and see whether something fails
during execution...).
