Thank you for rebuilding and testing.  Since the problem isn't with the 
header cache backend, this smells like a Mutt bug.

Would you mind opening a ticket so we can debug it without causing too 
much traffic on mutt-users?

There is a --with-idn2 configure flag you can use instead.  The packaged
mutt used libidn, so I assumed build-dep would install that library.

I'll need some more debug information to try and figure out what's going 
on.  I'm attaching a patch.  If you would apply, re-compile and run with 
debug mode (-d 2), it should hopefully give some useful info about 
what's happening at the hang point.

You only need to let mutt run for a minute and then kill it.  Otherwise 
the debug file will get really really big.  If you would post that to 
the ticket (taking care to remove the authentication parts), I would 
appreciate it.

Thank you!
