Hi all,

I've just upgraded to 2.2.0pre5 from a fairly stock RedHat 5.2 install so
that my dual Pentium II gets the most out of SMP. After figuring out the
smbmount solution, everything seems to be going fairly well except for the
fact that I can't use create a new message in Communicator. Actually using
POP3 and IMAP work fine for receiving. Just can't send.

Using strace I get this repeating loop after this segment (I believe)

read(9, "\6\0I-\326\27\3716%\0\0\0\201\4\0"..., 32) = 32
ioctl(9, FIONREAD, [32]) = 0
read(9, "\6\0I-\341\27\3716%\0\0\0\201\4\0"..., 32) = 32
ioctl(9, FIONREAD, [96]) = 0
read(9, "\10\0I-\353\27\3716%\0\0\0\201\4"..., 96) = 96
gettimeofday({915750334, 962188}, NULL) = 0
oldselect(27, [6 7 9 10 19], [], [6], {0, 0}) = 1 (in [9], left {0, 0})
oldselect(27, [6 7 10 19], [], [6], {0, 0}) = 0 (Timeout)
sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, NULL, ~[KILL STOP]) = 0
gettimeofday({915750334, 963310}, NULL) = 0
sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, [], NULL) = 0
sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, [ALRM], []) = 0
oldselect(20, [6 7 10 19], NULL, [6], {0, 0}) = 0 (Timeout)
gettimeofday({915750334, 964124}, NULL) = 0
sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, [], NULL) = 0
gettimeofday({915750334, 964378}, NULL) = 0
sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, NULL, []) = 0

The last portions of gettimeofday and sigprocmask will continue endlessly
with Communicator seemingly hung (i.e. no window updates, no reponse, just
a watch glass cursor).

Anybody see this? or have any ideas? Thanks, and please CC me as I've
subscribed to this list but haven't received any messages yet....

P.S. I've already done the check of all my system components and they seem
to be in order as well as having checked the list archives.
