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
