Subject: PC Pine sucks CPU when should be idle

I'm not sure what causes this, but it happens a lot, especially, it seems,
when you open an URL out of PC-Pine.

PC-Pine should be idle, but it actually sucks 80-90% of the CPU and trips
the fan on my laptop.

Simply switching the view back to Pine drops the CPU back down to normal.

Any ideas what might be causing this?

No I don't, but I experience the same problem when pine is minimized.
This only happens when I run ge0Shell, which is a replacement shell for
window.

I almost always have 2 or 3 instances of PC-Pine running and am
constantly launching URLs from PC-Pine and I have not experienced
this problem. In fact, I'm amazed that I don't run out of memory
more often. Here's my usual configuaration

MS Windows 98SE
64 meg of RAM
Opera 6.01 Build 1041 running in MDI mode with about 20 windows open
Dreamweaver 4.01 with 2 or 3 pages open and being edited
2 or 3 instances of PC-Pine, often one cycling through the
 incoming-folders list and another PageUpping or PageDowning
 through a Message Index
1 or 2 SecureCRT windows open SSHed to Unix systems and doing
 port forwarding
1 or 2 gvim windows
Clever Keys

I never minimize PC-Pine so maybe that is what's causing your
problem?

 still amazed that I can do so much with only 64 meg of memory!

Here is another data point that might help track down why Tim has
a memory leak and I don't: I use PC-Pine to access IMAP and NNTP
folders almost exclusively. I rarely access local folders.

HTH track down the problem,
