David, it seems that there's a bug in the Grep implementation of the
MessageParser that can lead to a hang. See discussion at

I've found and fixed the problem. The issue was that Tassilo's test case
assumed that read_next_email would return some false value, when in fact
you are not supposed to call the method if end_of_file is true. i.e. he
did:
while(my $email = $folder_reader->read_next_email()) {
print $output $$email;
}
instead of:
while(!$folder_reader->end_of_file()) {
my $email = $folder_reader->read_next_email();
print $output $$email;
}
His way seems reasonable, so I added (back in?) support for
it---read_next_email now returns undef on EOF. I'll be releasing 1.5000
very soon.

P.S. Please CC me on bug reports as soon as my module is obviously
involved. I probably could have saved several people some debugging
effort. (I've thanked them all in my changelog.)
