When I try to download mail from Gmail, which requires TLS to connect, the processor spikes up to 100% and sylpheed-claws locks. I have to killall -9 to end the process. It will work the first time on a reboot, but after that, everytime, I get the above. I think that this must be an openssl problem, but after re-installing openssl and then rebuilding sylpheed-claws against it, the same thing is happening. While this is not a crash per se, I got this from gdb when the problem occurs: 0x406a984b in read () from /lib/libpthread.so.0 (gdb) bt #0 0x406a984b in read () from /lib/libpthread.so.0 #1 0x4068774c in ??

Can you check with another mail program if this is sylpheed related or not?
no clue what this is
