I've fiddled a bit with this one. I still can't reproduce it reliably, but I got it to go away :-) Before, I had my maildir living on this machine (running -current), and my mailserver (running stable) mounted it over NFS and wrote mails to it. Often, when reading things locally in the directory, it just hung. I haven't been able to pinpoint why it hung, but I suspect it could be that it didn't like mails being written into it? Problem with nfsd perhaps? I've now turned the system around. My maildir now lives on the mailserver, and I mount it here. Problem has gone away. Perhaps someone can make sense of this? I'm happy I can read my mail now, without having to kick the power button every so often, but I'd prefer to store my mail here and have the mailserver write over NFS.
