Mozilla mail stuck in infinite loop

I started using the Mozilla 1.2.1 email client on Solaris 9 8/03 last week. All was working fine until today. Today, I try to reply to a message someone had sent, and immedieatly upon pressing the "reply" button, mozilla starts eating up the CPU.

A truss yields the following:

/1:read(16, 0x001E1578, 8192) = 0

/1:read(16, 0x001E1578, 8192) = 0

/1:read(16, 0x001E1578, 8192) = 0

...

My guess is that file descriptor 16 is a socket that it is trying to read from.

Can someone point me to where I might find what might be causing this to happen. and how I might resolve this? Incidently, this is not the first time I've seen this problem. Sometime when browsing with Mozilla, the browser too will get stuck in an infinite loop. I've always just killed it and restarted it and things would work fine, so I never looked into the problem. But the email thing just won't go away. I kill mozilla, restart. Go to reply to anemail message ... infinite loop.

Thanks, Jim

Yeah seems to be the same problem as I am having only that even trying to compose a new mail triggers the same problem. Have you got anywhere on this?
