I've attached a patch for bug number 1036, as reported at
http://bugs.guug.de/db/pa/lmutt.html ("segfault when more than one
msg is postponed"). This is a patch against mutt 1.4.1.
As it was previously left, no one could reproduce it. The problem
occurs because sorting is disabled when opening the postponed
folder, but the Sort global variable still tells mutt to use
whatever sorting algorithm the $sort config option indicates.
Eventually, the code would get to mutt_messages_in_thread and try to
dereference a NULL thread object, causing the segfault.
