   Uhm, ok, what does strace tell ya is going on?  Sometimes when something
is just inexplicably hung a good strace gives a clue as to the cause.  Also do
you have any extensions in TBird at all?  If so start it up from the command
line with "--safe-mode" to see if that helps.  That, however, is a guess based
on a similar experience I had with Firefox so it might not be relevant or, in
fact, a valid command-line parameter.  :)
I tried both ideas and before finding anything in the strace output I tried safe mode. Then I got the profile manager and was reminded I had seen many variations of this problem before. I can see no lock on the old profile but have created a new one and am sending this from T-Bird.

Now I just have a bunch of mail to reorganize!

Thanks much,

Paul
