There is still a problem with 2.50. However, I haven't been able to get
access to a machine that will reliably time out with this problem, so I
haven't been able to investigate it. If someone can get a bunch of mail
messages that cause the timeout, on a system that suffers from it, then I
might be able to get to the cause of it. Unless I can find the problem, it
may not be fixed for 2.51, which would be A Bad Thing (tm).
