I've tried today to come up with a recipe that doesn't involve
installing EBDB, but so far have failed. I tried edebugging the various
message-displaying functions to see exactly what was causing the bug,
but got no segfault so long as the functions were instrumented.

Basically EBDB attaches a hook to `gnus-article-prepare-hook', which
uses `gnus-fetch-original-field' to pull some data out of the article,
looks for records that match that data, and displays the records.

With "emacs -Q" there are no records to search or display, so I assumed
it must be the header-access functions causing the problem. But I wrote
a function that does most of what EBDB does, without actually using
EBDB, and it caused no segfault, so I don't know what's going on there,
sorry.

Eric
