I would build it with debug symbols turned on. You can do this by
specifying the --enable-debug option to configure. Then after it
hangs, use ps to find the PID of the hung mutt and attach gdb to
that process. You can use gdb to find what mutt is waiting for, or
it is in an infinite loop, why the loop is not terminating.
Does it always hang, or just with the -a option?
