Yes, compiling enigmail with gcc 3.4 is sufficient to eliminate the
signal 11 for me.  I am not sure if it is because some code generation
issue in gcc, or bug in enigmail itself (presumably no, the access
violation is triggered in perfectly fine code).  I have taken some time
to give it a shoot but got some "events" this afternoon so I did not dig
further.
