trahing loop

Just a question to the users of pmmail (os/2 version)
Have anyone noticed an odd behaviour when opening an unread message in the inbox under the 
following circumstances:
-inbox is full of read messages + 1 new
-the cpu is operating at 100% (running seti@home)

In my case the program went into a fast trashing loop, trashing all messages in the inbox.
Next when I tried to read a message in the trash folder, the same thing happened there, 
completely erasing a lot of messages before I was able to close pmmail.
Closing seti@home and restarting pmmail caused no more problems, but then my unread message 
was gone.
This is the second time I experience this in about a year.

System is running warp4 with fp11, plenty of RAM and diskspace.
