Bug#230379: balsa: Hang closing a mail folder

[Doug Larrick]

Package: balsa
Version: 2.0.16-1
Severity: important

Note: This behavior is a new bug that did not exist in 2.0.15-1

I use the Balsa option to display mailbox names in tabs.

When I close one of these tabs in Balsa 2.0.16, it sometimes causes 
Balsa to hang and have to be killed.

I have run Balsa under Valgrind, and I believe I have spotted the
error that causes this misbehavior, but it will take someone more
familiar with the code than I am to produce a solution.  I will
forward the Valgrind stacktrace as a separate response to this bug.
