Hmmmm, that last part there is suspicious. Doubtless the reason that 
mutt hangs is because its command queue is full. The real question, 
though, is why that queue isn't emptying. I *think* that queue should 
empty as responses come back from the server, so my guess would be 
that mutt somehow isn't associating responses with the original 
command that sent them and so remains waiting for answers to the 
commands its already sent. Eventually it can't keep track of more than 
X number of commands, and so it refuses to send any more until it gets 
responses back to the commands its already sent.

I think you should probably file a bug report (http://bugs.mutt.org), 
and include a longer snippet of your debug log when you do (showing 
several of the commands and responses leading up to the "queue full" 
line).
