It's an ancient HPPA box, so you're probably not going to be able to
replicate it :-(. However, it's 32-bit big-endian, so I'm thinking that
a PPC machine ought to be close enough. The underlying tcl is 8.3.2
(egad, I really should update that) and exmh is from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/exmh/
I have not made any effort to identify how version-sensitive the
behavior is.

Try to view a message containing
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed
as a header line. Or just open up the Fonts preferences; I found
out that crashes too ...
On the whole I suspect it'd be easier for me to try to find a smaller
reproducer. If I dig into exmh a bit I should be able to find a line
or two of Tcl that causes the same problem. Let me get back to you
later today ...
