Thanks for the detailed description of this problem!! I had a similar 
report earlier today, but it was unclear what exactly triggered this 
problem (the extreme hanging). I haven't located the bug yet, but at 
least I know where to look now. A fairly recent change to part of the 
certificate related code is a prime suspect (some refactoring done while 
implementing S/MIME support).

I'll focus on this problem tomorrow and try to get an update out as soon 
as possible.
