Subject:   off-topicish .. mutt and postfix looping the loop

Hi,
A strange problem.
I run a backup in the middle of every night. Before the backup starts it
disables Postfix. I have noticed that if I happen to have left Mutt
running somewhere it then proceeds to go into a very tight CPU loop.
The Mutt incarnation is usually the administrative user, who receives
messages for root from all the various system activities.
I intend to try a controlled experiment to see on what it is looping (I
suspect select and/or poll) .. but does anyone have any insight into
this ?

It's FreeBSD 4.7 stable..but I think it has happened before so I don't
suspect any recent updates (I build stable +- once a week). Mutt/Postfix
are the latest versions from the ports.
