It's not exactly bad. It gets logged only when the process is exiting.
But it shouldn't be happening either.

How easily can you reproduce this? For example if you do:

telnet localhost 143
1 login user pass
2 select inbox
3 logout

Does it get logged? What if you select some other mailbox instead?

I don't think this is correct, because there are no timeout callbacks in
cmd-append.c.
