offlineimap hangs

[chris coleman]

A suggestion.  Why not add a watchdog process, which will kill and restart OLI if/when it hangs, becomes unresponsive, or otherwise stops processing, for X amount of time.

I've noticed that offlineimap sometimes becomes unresponsive.  Here is an example trace:


OfflineIMAP 6.5.2.1

Copy message 14296 (1 of 13) GmRemote:[Gmail]/Sent Mail -> GmLocal


At this point, offlineimap became unresponsive for several minutes.  Eventually I hit control-C and got a "Terminating NOW" message, but again nothing happened for a few minutes; the only way to force it to quit was with a SIGQUIT (Control-\). 

Is this a known issue?
