     I have compiled mutt v1.5.4 with gpg and mutt still segfaults.
I have tested mutt/pgp on another Solaris 8 system, that was not 
updated with the latest patch cluster (last patch cluster on this system 
was 2 mabee 3 months ago) and it works just fine. So my next question is, 
is there an easy way to show what patches were applied on a system within 
a certian time period or mabee a patch diff between systems ? 

  Also, in looking around, it looks like the origianl files were not
saved during the patch process (can't backout a patch, lesson learned 
here :)). What would be the best way of recovering and installing the 
original files without causeing to much problems to a system ?
