Thanks for the report, but we need a bit more info to actually spot the
issue (I suspect a NULL-pointer derefference).

If tin is buiuld with debugging symbols and not stripped - see output from
	file $(which tin)
- can you run tin from inside gdb, e.g.
	gdb $(which tin)
(gdb) run # whatever cmd.line args you normaly use if any

provoke the crash via 'J' and then request a backtrace:
(gdb) bt
and copy/paste that into a mail?
