Several mostly build-time things to check:

1) Try adding this to your CXXFLAGS: -D_GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI=0

That was necessary at one point recently due to an upgraded toolchain.  I 
think it's patched now (live-git pan, tho whether it made it into 0.142 I 
don't know), but I never removed the flag to double-check, so I'm still 
building with it.

2) Try toggling gtk-build-against between gtk2 and gtk3.  For quite some 
time gtk2 has been recommended, but there have been some patches to fix 
gtk3 builds recently, and there's a gkr (gnome-keyring) related bug for 
those building with it, that seems to only appear when built against gtk2, 
so try against gtk3 if you haven't.

3) Try toggling various options, like building the gkr support, secure-
connections support, etc.  IIRC there was a bug reported when pan wasn't 
built with secure connection support.

4) Of course you can try building latest git as well, and see if that 
makes a difference.

5) Less recently, but there have been various library issues reported 
over the years too.  Of course toggling deps and gtk2/gtk3 should cover 
some of the libs, but not all of them.
