Bug Description
Binary package hint: mozilla-thunderbird
I have one of my thunderbird profiles on an nfs mounted file system. I do this to share the profile with a number of machines. When I go to read an email while using the profile on the nfs share it crashes with a segmentation fault. It says its dumping core but i can not find any core file.
Thunderbird starts and is fine until I click on a message and it goes to read it. it starts to display the message in the preview pane then it crashes. This only occurs in the profile that is resident on the nfs share. If I open a local profile all runs well. This error has only shown since I upgraded from feisty to gutsy. It worked fine on feisty.
File permissions on the profile files are correct.
No other instance of thunderbird are running to lock files.
Using nfs4 to mount the share

Update:
Booted to 2.6.20-16-generic kernel and found that thunderbird behaves normally when using the NFS resident profile.
My Guess is that the new kernel has an nfs issue.
