[comp.mail.mush] mushtool glitch

I'm running mushtool 6.5 (patch #2) on a sun 3/60 (Unix 3.5).

Occasionally, after reading my mail and browsing
through a folder or two and then selecting the "Done"
button and closing to an icon, I've noticed that:

 1) Even after deleting all messages in my system folder
    the flag will still be up (and the number of messages will
    be zero).
    
                     AND/OR

 2) When I select another sun window (a shelltool or emacstool
    or something) it takes the window 5 or 10 seconds before it
    responds to anything I type in (it acts like it's hung).
    I know I'm only running on a 3/60, but when this occurs
    my CPU meter is comfortably resting on zero so it appears
    that response time isn't the problem.

In any case, these things don't happen *all* the time.  I've
noticed that if I simply read my mail, delete my messages and
close-to-icon, I don't see the problem(s).  It's not even fully
repeatable when I include browsing thru folders in the sequence.
Is this a problem with my folders perhaps? Or in my mush
configuration?


Thanks,
