[Bug 704623] [NEW] thunderbird renders system unusable

[Thomas Schweikle]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: thunderbird

After starting Thunderbird, then open any available nntp-server
(news.gmane.org, or news.individual.org (you'll need an account to
access this server)). Thunderbird will immediately block on any
newsgroup with a reasonable amount of new messages. It will consume 100%
CPU, slow down the whole system significantly. After a while Thunderbird
is grayed out most of the time. You can't access it anymore. Sometimes
this lasts for hours. Working with Thunderbird is impossible.
