Well, Burn (and AFAIK GNUMail, too) make use of threads for certain tasks. 
This problem looks like GNUstep could not create the thread employed by Burn 
to run the blanking. The question is why. Unfortunately, GNUstep does not 
tell us any error code here. But you may want to check the file 
thr-pthread.m (in base) for the call of 'pthread_create' and make it a bit 
more verbose concerning the error. I suspect (from 'man pthread_create') 
that your system is lacking the necessary resources.
Sorry, that I can't be of more help here.

Cheers,
Andreas
