183924 - Send hangs pegging CPU at 100% usage

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 168516

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Andrew E. Mileski]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0)
Build Identifier: 1.21 release

Currently this is 100% repeatable on my system.  It was working find, then all 
of a sudden pressing Send causes the proces to hang and peg the CPU at 100%.

Using IMAP.

Tried re-starting, re-booting, and re-installing.  No effect.

I think this has to do with a created local file, as I suspect blowing away the 
local user data files will fix this (it has in the past).  Just plain annoying 
to lose all your settings so frequently (yes, this happens to me all the time, 
and has been happening with versions since 1.0).  Something is fundamentally 
broken.



Reproducible: Always

Another typical symptom:  freeze when opening mail and newsgroups preferences 
from menu (or any preferences menus).

This alone tells me that the handling of local user config/data files is 
booged.  Blowing them away will allow Mozilla to re-create them, and everything 
will go fine for a while until the next freeze event, then it's time to rinse 
and repeat :(

Seems to be related to 182370

Removing XUL.mfl and everything is working again ... but for how long?

I have the file (>2 MB so can't attach) and will keep it around until the next 
freeze-up event.
