mutt instability?

[Richard Lyons <richard@the-place.net>]

I have mutt on two machines at different locations, accessing the same
imap server.  I copied the muttrc files from the first to the second
box.  On the first box (running sid), mutt crashes out frequently 
(ranging from 3 times a day to once every 3 minutes) with an error 
message which is something like:
   socket error - A TLS package of unexpected length was received
(from memory)
On the second box (sarge), it usually, but not always, runs smoothly 
for a whole day without problem.  So I now realize it may not be 
inherently unstable, but I do not know what to look for to trace the 
problem.
