neomutt no longer works with kyotocabinet correctly:

icecat is failing, with new profiles, with old profiles. This can be
reproduced in a new profile by selecting 'Preferences > Applications'.
It should immediately crash.

It doesn't crash when "--with-system-icu" is removed.

Sure, but I'm not sure it is the right solution.  It would be preferable
to use system libraries when we can.  What the other think?

Can you send a patch for this?

This usually indicates that upstream forked the library (or that the
depend on this particular version of the API).  I think it’s better to
comment the configure flag with a FIXME and have a version of Icecat
that is usable than a version of Icecat that immediately crashes when
you start it.

In any case I think it would be good to file a bug report upstream with
information about the exact version of ICU that we’re building with.

I have /gnu/store/pk4sbzk3xh7yjj9ls7hkhzgaj0xha7xp-icecat-45.7.0-gnu1
(x86_64) and I can reproduce the Preferences → Applications crash.
However, it does not crash immediately upon startup as Ricardo
experiences.

It also crashes everytime when browsing "about:support".  Immediate
crash depends on the profile I think.

Alright, I'll send a patch then.  Thanks for commenting.

I use the very same variant of icecat.  (Having unique names is really
useful for debugging!)

I have a large profile with many tabs.  When icecat starts it restores
the tabs and crashes before I can even see anything.  When I move away
my profile and start in “safe mode” the window appears and Icecat
crashes when it tries to render some URL.

Exactly the same here as Ricardo wrote.
