Very strange, I've never seen such a thing.  INN shouldn't pay any 
attention to attachments at all.

Oh, do you have Cleanfeed installed?  (If you used the Redhat RPM, you 
probably do.)  I guess that could have something to do with it.

Otherwise, I'd suggest that when INN hangs, you use gdb to attach to 
the innd binary, and run "backtrace" -- that at least may give us some 
idea of where in the code it's stuck.
