Dear John,

Well, I went through all the steps to backtrace via gdb, and​ as i got
to the end, my system
announced an update avialable,​ and of course ....
surprise, it​ included thunderbird . Ive attached the changes and txt
file from gdb, but as this was my first real debugging effort using
gdb, i think I need to figure out what args go in the final run???
still new here to debugging. Hope this helps?

The update, and removing my old thunderbird ./ file (where, by now, i
suspect the crash was caused by one of the TB 'themes' ....once the
old thunderbird file was removed, the latest update ran smoothly.

Really hope this gives a clue as to what was going on before the update.

Cheers
