So you regain control of mutt's session when mutt dies to a kill signal?
Can you also suspend mutt (control-Z) from within the same session, or
only from outside?
Does mutt freeze while you're actively using it, or only while you're
idling? Or both?
Is it at all possible that the freezes are related to software flow
control signals (normally control-S = stop; control-Q = start; but see
`stty`)? This seems unlikely since you said the problem started with
the installation of a NATting router, but it's sometimes worth asking.
