Console output and backtrace

After a machine crash, the contents of my folderlist.xml have been corrupted. As a result, claws-mail was unable to start, quitting with a segfault. I'm using claws-mail 3.8.0 on Ubuntu 12.04. Replacing the folderlist.xml file with its backup folderlist.xml.bak solved the problem.
