"Organize by Thread" in Mail causes crash: see crash log

[dbonneville]

Hi: My mail app stopped working correctly, and I'm not sure why. If I click "Organize by Thread", Mail immediately gets distorted, and I can't uncheck it. Rolling over mail items causes them to go blank. If I click another folder and then click back to the inbox, all the messages are gone. If I go to close the app, the window closes but the app hangs on with the word "Mail" in the silver bar at the top remaining blue. I have to force quit.

I then have to open Mail up again, uncheck the "Organize by Thread" option, and then restart one more time. Then, mail works normally. If I try to view by thread once more, it does the same thing.

I have reinstalled Mail 2-3 times to no avail...but it DID used to work just a few days ago...

Any clues? I'll post a small part of the last crash log.
