I still think it's something to do with libraries. I did the traceback and
runlog as requested on the pan bug reporting page and added them to the bug
so maybe they'll take a look at it.

I used Arch Linux for a while and had the same problems on it after some
updates - same with Slackware, worked fine and then *bam* something changed
and it wasn't Pan itself. I don't know how to figure it out using the
traceback and runlog but I'm hoping it helps the Pan developer(s).

I have a spare box or two so maybe I'll put straight Slackware 10 on and see
if that has problems - if I have time, maybe I can upgrade one thing at a
time and see if I can figure out in a brute force way what breaks it.
