Sorry, I just got home and couldn't do it earlier, but I see you already 
figured it out. Great, thank you :)

Actually it's interesting that it manifested only without MULTIBYTE_ABLE, 
as I do have this set. Here's my characteristics from the bug report 
function:

Characteristics:
        -DEBUG +NNTP_ONLY -NO_POSTING
        -USE_ZLIB +ENABLE_IPV6 -HAVE_COREFILE -HAVE_FASCIST_NEWSADMIN
        -NO_SHELL_ESCAPE -DISABLE_PRINTING -DONT_HAVE_PIPING -NO_ETIQUETTE
        +HAVE_LONG_FILE_NAMES +APPEND_PID -HAVE_MH_MAIL_HANDLING +HAVE_COLOR
        +HAVE_ISPELL -HAVE_METAMAIL -HAVE_PGP -HAVE_PGPK -HAVE_GPG
        +MIME_BREAK_LONG_LINES -MIME_STRICT_CHARSET
        +CHARSET_CONVERSION_{ICONV} +MULTIBYTE_ABLE +NO_LOCALE
        -USE_ICU_UCSDET -USE_LONG_ARTICLE_NUMBERS
        +USE_CANLOCK -EVIL_INSIDE -FORGERY -TINC_DNS -ENFORCE_RFC1034
        -REQUIRE_BRACKETS_IN_DOMAIN_LITERAL -ALLOW_FWS_IN_NEWSGROUPLIST

And ./configure syntax from config.log (formatted for readability):

./configure \
	--prefix=/usr/local \
	--with-editor=/usr/bin/nano \
	--enable-nntp-only \
	--with-ncurses \
	--with-domain-name=localdomain.invalid \
	--disable-mime-strict-charset \
	--with-mime-default-charset=utf-8 \
	--with-nntp-default-server=news.chmurka.net \
	--disable-nls \
	--disable-locale \
	--enable-cancel-locks

I confirm, it doesn't crash now.

Thanks again,
