Hello again everyone.  Thanks for Vince for helping me track down the problem. 
 I haven't found it yet so I'm posting again.  This time I've put the
config.log, build.log and build.err files on a Google drive for everyone to
look at.  If you want to scratch your head for awhile please help your self. 
You can find them at
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0Bw9-Y...

This is a compile of 1.0.6.  If you look in the build.err file you will see a
lot of warnings for fread, memset, wright, read and so on.  They all give the
error of "declared with attribute warn_unused_result" so not sure if this is
critical or not.  I can't find any hard errors in either build files.  I tried
to get as many YES answers when doing the ./configure.  Some no's are to be
expected.  So if anyone can find what might be giving me the buffer overflow
errors when I run mbindex and mbout -stat that would be great.  If no one can
find the error I may have to try compiling it on a clean version of Linux 
Mint.

Thanks everyone.

Stephen
