aha! linux is the one (it's always the butler, isn't it?). the ext2fs
tries to go thru the mail one last time as directed by mutt, and since
9000+ directory entries are visited with no sorting or any help at all:
this takes some time and makes people use freebsd, like me!
but seriously: does this "insane" state go away with lots of time by
itself? if yes, it could well be the filesystem, or... not....?
