My take on this was a badly formatted message from
spammers or a corrupt mailbox.
Other services continue to run, but very slowly.
Stopping and restarting web messaging provides a fix
until the next time. We do have other services on our
machine; from a technical viewpoint there's nothing
wrong with that as long as the CPU + Memory support it,
which they do.
From your description it sounds like a classic
unprotected multithread programming problem in Web
messaging; it works fine when there's no other process
on the machine to interrupt a thread and resume a
different thread at an unfortunate point in time.
