SImilar problem here, trying to open large maildir lead to
pop3 process eating 100% cpu.

strace doesn't show any activity except this:

alarm(30)                               = 0
sigreturn()                             = ? (mask now [RTMIN])
--- SIGALRM (Alarm clock) @ 0 (0) ---


Attaching gdb to the offending process gives me this info:
