After correlating information from a bunch of log files, I think I've 
found the circumstances that precipitate this problem.  It seems to be a 
case of one or more users running Roundcube *and* another email program 
at the same time. 

UW-IMAP doesn't want to serve the same inbox to both imap clients.  One 
of them gets cut off at the knees.  Eg:
Apr  3 14:51:10 mail imapd[12962]: [ID 289526 mail.info] Killed (lost 
mailbox lock) user=redacted host=mail.example.org [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]

When the loser is Roundcube we get into the 100% CPU / CLOSE_WAIT 
scenario I described earlier.

Is there any way we can make Roundcube more resilient in this 
situation?  Or is there an IMAP server that isn't quite so brutal?

Thanks,
Roy
