I'd like to draw attention to:

http://bugs.python.org/issue5949

Which is a regression of imaplib.py introduced in r57680.

Ever since I switched to python 2.6 on my box, I have had issues with
getmail[1] getting stuck in an infinite loop swallowing memory (note:
only applies to IMAP SSL connections). While this code is present in
older versions of python, it seems to have become a problem recently
(2009-05-06 is the earliest report on the issue) perhaps due to a
version bump of OpenSSL? I never noticed the problem in python2.5 even
though the code is unchanged. Nevertheless, the code is clearly wrong
and should be corrected.

I would appreciate this bug being resolved before the next release as it
effects me on a daily basis. I have submitted a patch, which reflects my
local solution.
