I think this probably has something to do with wanderlust or possibly org-mode (and/or misconfigurations i've made to both of these); but at present i cna't be sure since i have no idea how to diagnose these hangs. Can someone give me some general directions on how to proceed with the diagnosis, and if you have them, some pointers on how you fixed a similar problem that you used to have? Right now it's very frustrating -- I find myself losing substantial amounts of work when I kill emacs & maybe more importantly, i'm constantly losing my train of thought. This is all under Ubuntu Lucid with emacs-snapshot 20090909, wanderlust=wl-beta 2.15.9+0.20100303, org-mode 6.34c (some of htese are debian sid packages). Thanks much in advance, matt
