In the first message on this topic, I mentioned that there were
thirteen tasks in the little bottom pane. Ten of them were "storing
changes to sbcglobal INBOX." Might that be a problem? Perhaps there
should be a check on doing the same thing several times.

I did an search for getting a backtrace. Google's AI recommended

export DEBUGINFOD_URLS="https://debuginfod.debian.net"

Should it have that value, or be blank, before I try to get a
backtrace?
