latest cvs build hanging on smtpmail-send-queued-mail (OS X 10.3.2)

[John Owens]

I built the latest emacs from cvs this morning (OS X
10.3.2), sent a message via smtpmail (with
smtpmail-queue-mail t), and then called
smtpmail-send-queued-mail. Emacs completely hung. I
had to force-quit it.

Admittedly, I've never got smtpmail to work properly
with authentication. But it least used to not work
gracefully and told me there were authentication
errors. Here, I see the message in the mode line:

Loading [file from my queued mail folder]
(source)...done

and then it totally hangs.

This happens when I have the smtpmail debug and
verbose settings set and also when I do not.

I do not know what to do to continue to debug when it
hangs like this. Even when I set debug-on-error it
hangs.

I append my setup.

Can you run emacs under gdb, perhaps?  A gdb backtrace might help find
the first problem, i.e., why C-g doesn't work.  My guess would be that
something in the network I/O code doesn't work well with Mac OS X.
Once that problem is fixed, the smtpmail problem can be debugged more
easily.

I wasn't able to reproduce my problem from this morning
(either within gdb or without). I'll report back if I can 
reproduce it.

Thanks, Simon, for the reply.
