New description:
Mutt sometimes hangs when fetching a message, or opening a folder
while fetching headers from an imap server. The imap server is Cyrus
IMAP4 2.2.12-Invoca-RPM-2.2.12-8.1.RHEL4. This happens also with mutt
1.5.12 on one machine, as well as with mutt 1.5.13. This happens
occasionally,
not that often, but enough to be frustrating since mutt has to be
restarted and
changes to the mail folder are lost. Several times a day. Mutt won't
respond except for ctl-Z to stop it, then the mutt process must be
killed. In one case I collected a debug log from mutt -d, which showed
that mutt has frozen part way through downloading an attachment. No
error messages are given, the log simply stops part way through
outputing the attachment to the log file.
Well I'm not sure this is mutt or cyrus imapd but not sure how to tell
the difference and the imap server is not accessible to me.

Comment(by brendan):
If mail_check is still 1, mutt will appear frozen because it's
continuously polling mailboxes.
