Balsa crashing during smtp.

[Tom and Esther <tward1978 earthlink net>]

Hi, list.
For the past couple of days I have been using balsa, but there is one  
major problem which I would like to solve.  I have also sent a similar  
question to the balsa list in hopes in finding someone  who can  
thissolve  issue.
I am using balsa 2.0.14, and for the most part everything appears to be  
setup and working correctly.  However, as soon as I do ctrl+shift_s to  
send emails the mail goes out just fine, and then balsa crashes  
freezing up everything on that terminal. Then, I have no choice but to  
switch to a new virtual terminal and kill balsa or in some cases kill  
the entire x session and restart x.
Is there anyone having this same problem? Has anyone ever solved it if  
they did? Any suggestions?
thanks.
