I've not seen anything like that, but with my machine specs (dual Opteron 
242, not so special now, but 8 gig memory, root and home on a 4-disk 
RAID-6, etc) I'm not really the one to ask about it.

I'd suggest trying a clean ~/.pan2 dir, resubscribing to groups, etc.  It 
sounds to me like something might be corrupted.  Or create a clean new 
user and try pan in it.  Pan really shouldn't do that even if corrupted, 
it should spit an error saying what's wrong... ideally... so if you have 
the patience to trace the file that's doing it and can file a bug on it, 
that'd be useful.
