I've managed to reproduce this when connecting to a server that supports
pipelining but only using the example program that comes with libESMTP
though not within Balsa itself.

I've found the point in the libESMTP code where my logic is flawed and
I'm working on solving it. (I've managed to produce exactly the
pipelining deadlock I was trying to avoid!)

Thanks for providing the trace - very useful!  As soon as I fix this,
I'll release a new version of libESMTP.
