Mutt Run Amok
After installing Leopard 10.5, Mutt has developed the nasty habit of running
amok after some extended time of use (perhaps several hours, sometimes much
longer).
The key symptom is a massive ramp-up in process hogging, as illustrated below:
Activity Monitor info:
Process ID 252
CPU Usage hovering around 90%
RSIZE: 13.5 MB
Virtual Memory: 682.91
Private Memory Size: 14.42
Parent Process: Bash (239)
Process Group: mutt (252)
Sample returns: Can't sample process 252 because it is running in Rosetta
Top command in Terminal shows mutt running as 252, but Terminal 'kill 252' does
not kill mutt
The only way to kill is to force quit Mutt in Activity Monitor.
Activity Monitor shows Open Files and Ports:

Any assistance would be appreciated.
