Try turning off mailwasher.

The symtpoms sound like mailwasher is monopolizing the cpu or waiting
for some kind of event that doesn't happen. The machine isn't hung because
mailwasher still responds.

When it hangs, closing Mailwasher makes no difference. Everything else
continues not to work.

Fortunately, as reported a couple of days ago, the system hasn't hung since
I made a couple of other changes - so I'm hoping that I've fixed it!

monopolizing resources. gotta stop it before it gets to that point.
