Package: offlineimap
Version: 6.5.3.1-2
Severity: normal

If offlineimap is running and I migrate to another network, or change
IP, or anything else that disrupts its connection, it seems to get
stuck. The new version has grown a TERM signal handler that seems to try
to talk to the network (why it would need to, I don't know), and so
even if I kill it, it stays running, blocking receiving of new mail.

I can kill -9 it, but this seems very unsafe since it gives it no chance
at all to shut down.

This is a reversion from the previous version.

FWIW, I use offlineimap on dialup, so this happens to me at least once a
day since upgrading to this version.
