It's definitely a Balsa problem. I'm currently using 0.9.3 because it
works a tad
better than 0.8.1 for POP3. Debian woody system. I got a mail that was
2MB and
that was enough to lock up balsa in the way you mentioned. Fortunately,
I'm the
sysadmin for this POP3 server so I can kill stuff directly, easily.

Anyways, I'd REALLY REALLY REALLY like to see this fixed for 0.9.4. then
maybe
I can convince Jules Bean <jules@debian.org> to update woody to that.

Note: 0.8.0 works perfectly for POP3.

TIA, I'm not on the list so if you want debugging help, just shoot me a
mail
directly.
