Three Debian testing systems here with same issue. This config editor 
setting fixed the crashing on all three systems. I reversed the setting 
a few weeks ago and have had a couple of Icedove crashes only on the 
most heavily used system. This is a rarer occurrence than it used to be.

The crashes occur *only* when I have the message pane open and am moving 
through the message list. (I always use the keyboard arrow keys for 
this, so don't know if same would happen with mouse.)
