 I had a similar problem.  Found that if I looked into the thunderbird 
 build then I was getting core dumps during the install stage, and that 
 may have messed things up in the package files (not sure).  I was 
 running my world without clang, so this was thunderbird built with gcc.  
 I have portmaster set to hide the build ( -H option ), and the coredumps 
 were really easy to see as they showed up on the terminal rather than in 
 the log.  I believe it was hitting SIGBUS.
 
 I haven't been able to upgrade thunderbird yet.  I installed clang and 
 ran into a different problem with clang actually crashing during the 
 build.  Haven't had the time to chase it further yet.
 
 Is your thunderbird being built with gcc or clang?
