Ahh, cool deal - this I can understand.

I'm afraid this isn't the case - I made sure all pine threads were killed and 
then tried (re)starting it and same async reply from Xlib... The only thing 
that seems to help is to delete ~/.pinerc and start over. (As a sidenote, the 
terminal where I start xpine gets all hosed after exiting). I'll see if I can 
debug it some more and I'll let you know what I come up with.

Since you don't seem to get this behaviour at all it would be interesting to 
know what the environment you are developing on looks like?

Hang in there man!
