I've been receiving reports of occasional thread sorting crashes. I
believe that these may all occur when we are incrementally resorting the
mailbox, though I don't know for sure, and have been totally unable to
reproduce the problem myself. I will be travelling and unable to work
more on this until January, however, so I thought I would toss out this
patch, which I hope will turn out to be an effective temporary
workaround. The only harm it can do is slow down resorting when new
mail arrives, but even so that will still be dramatically faster, in
many cases, than the old threading code. I will track down the real
problem (if nobody beats me to it) and reenable the incremental sorting
when I get back.
