Public bug reported: Binary package hint: thunderbird
After starting Thunderbird, then open any available nntp-server (news.gmane.org, or news.individual.org (you'll need an account to access this server)). Thunderbird will immediately block on any newsgroup with a reasonable amount of new messages. It will consume 100% CPU, slow down the whole system significantly. After a while Thunderbird is grayed out most of the time. You can't access it anymore. Sometimes this lasts for hours. Working with Thunderbird is impossible.
