INN hangs posts with attachment

I just observed that there is no problem with Netscape 4.78. Even with
attachment of 1 mb it is faster, but with outlook express 6 it takes minuets
together and with Netscape 7, Netscape 7 just hangs. INND process will not
hang it keeps running. What can be wrong? 

By the way I am still learning to use gdb and I don't use cleanfeed (Checked
by typing: rpm -qa | grep cleanfeed ). I have complied and installed INN
rather than through RPM.

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.
