[wplug] Sunbird 0.7 is just a segfault

Using fully up-to-date Ubuntu, since March or April I have not been able to
make Sunbird work.  0.6 nightlies suddenly lost the ability to access the
internet, and it was fixed in 0.7. Any 0.6 from April onward and any
0.7(nightly or the release) just segfault as soon as I try to run
them.
They're not coming from packages, so it's not a packaging error.  It's the
tars from mozilla.org.

I currently am using a Sunbird that I built from CVS in September.   I
checked Tinderbox (Mozilla's build-testing servers) before checking out, and
it was green (meaning no compile errors in their test environment).  And
when I compiled it, ./configure and make both went fine.  Make install,
however, threw an error.  I commented out that part of the code
(autocompletion), and now I use that build.

Has anyone else experienced Sunbird just being one big segfault on Ubuntu or
any other distro?  How'd you make it work?
