Subject: pine hangs trying to find inbox

Hi,

I use pine on a hp machine under hp-ux 9.07. It has been working fine until 
today when it hanged trying to open the INBOX. I have set $MAIL as inbox-path, 
which should be correct - I can read my mail with elm. Starting pine with
-f sent-mail is possible, but any attempt to open the INBOX results in a hangup.
Even killing pine does not work, I have to kill the shell, and the pine process 
remains even then. Installing pine3.92 doesn't change anything, it hangs just 
the same. Perhaps the sysop has changed something in the email configuration, 
but as he does not support pine, I can get no help from there. What can I do to 
find out why pine hangs, and to get it to run again ?

Thank you for any help,

                     Matthias
