I have a core dump when I view a big thread.
From a quick look, it seems that it tries to use a fake article that has been
freed but to which a pointer still incorrectly exists (and the memory
has been reused for something else). I don't understand the code
well enough to guess who could have allocated that pointer.

A testcase to reproduce it is at
http://efge.free.fr/pblk.tgz (3.6 MB !)
I have a slightly smaller one at
http://efge.free.fr/pblk2.tgz (2.5 MB) where the body of articles have been
removed. The big part is the overview...
Included also the killfile I use, and a an access file.
