I was wrong in my previous mail: balsa can really hang on this even  
with current glibc. The reason I did not see it at first was that I had  
MALLOC_CHECK_ environment variable defined. Balsa runs just fine if  
this variable is set - but hangs when I unset it. I ran balsa with  
brand fresh configuration without IMAP and it still hangs.

I am tempted to say it is a problem with glibc but it could be some  
_very_ special balsa problem. It is difficult to know without doing  
some serious debugging. What about other gtk/gnome programs? Do they  
run?

I see that if I disable mailbox scanning, balsa quits just fine - but  
of course only special mailboxes are visible:

+#endif
     gdk_threads_leave();

     if (cmd_open_unread_mailbox || balsa_app.open_unread_mailbox)

As soon as I manually rescan the mailboxes, balsa will hang on quit.
