No issues here with Pan 0.140

0.139 has been superseded for quite some time by 0.140 so it's entirely 
possible that that some interaction between Pan and one or other support 
library or programme which has since been updated is causing some issue 
such as a race condition or just not sending back data in the way Pan 
expects it.  Have you updated everything else installed too?

I've not used Ubuntu for a few years now, but isn't there a contact email 
address for the person maintaining the Ubuntu build of pan for the 
repositories?  Go through the package manager as if to install pan and 
check the info/tabs since that person is most likely to be able to help 
in this case.

In the mean time, are you certain it's the Pan task taking 100% of CPU 
time?  You could try htop in treeview mode or pstree to see if Pan is 
calling other tasks

Other dependencies to check on are (list from my FreeBSD install):

   /usr/ports/accessibility/atk
   /usr/ports/converters/libiconv
   /usr/ports/devel/gettext-runtime
   /usr/ports/devel/glib20
   /usr/ports/devel/pcre
   /usr/ports/mail/gmime26
   /usr/ports/security/gnutls
   /usr/ports/textproc/gtkspell
   /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/gtk20
   /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/pango

A few of those are text/language/locale related and will be called when 
displaying subject lines in the headers pane or messages in the body pane.
Note that gnutls has been patched a few times in recent months and your 
build may have slightly different dependancies depending in what make 
options the builder chose.
