Hi,

Ever since I switched from 1.8.3 to 1.9.0 I noticed mutt responds
differently after I wake my computer from sleep.  Using 1.8.3 it would
typically be "frozen", but hitting ctrl-c as many times as imap
connections were present when the computer went to sleep unlocked it
instantly.  Odd behaviour more or less, but it worked for me :)
The reason this worked was probably because of this patch:
https://sourceforge.net/p/gentoomuttpatches/code/ci/mutt-1.8/tree/bugs-gentoo/0006-allow-slow-IO-interrupt.patch

Now with 1.9.0 (having the same patch applied) I notice that the ctrl-c
trick doesn't work any more, and mutt stays "frozen" somewhat, usually
breaking sort of out of this situation by itself after a little while.
I've had a couple of times now where re-loading the mailbox afterwards
causes weird errors, like it fails to connect, then claims password was
incorrect (even though it uses the one from memory), usually another try
works, sometimes it doesn't.  When it fails, it sometimes looks like it
actually isn't making a connection at all, but just resuming on some
broken handle of some sort.

I wonder if anyone else noticed this behaviour or that my config/patches
somehow interact badly.  I'd like to debug this somehow, but I've got no
idea yet how.  Any plans, suggestions, etc. are welcome.  For the
record, I see this behaviour on both macOS and Solaris, multiple
machines, so I assume it's not a specific instance problem.

Thanks,
Fabian
