Title:
  Thunderbird renders system unusable / uses 100% CPU while indexing new
  messages

Status in Mozilla Thunderbird Mail and News:
  Expired
Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “icedove” package in Debian:
  New
Status in “thunderbird” package in Fedora:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  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.
