Let me add a bit more info to this kmail thread.

I just changed kernels on this machine, from 4.9.0.9-rt to 4.9.0.9, 
without the rt.  Kmail always has a cow over to folders indices, so I 
expected to get a message about spam and spam-hold which both get 
touched by external scripts or by me moving messages around, but even if 
a nuke all the index files and then start or restart kmail, it has the 
rebuild done in 15 minutes or so.

But not this time. And lsof |grep index|wc -l shows its gone berzackers: 
gene@coyote:~/PublicA$ lsof |grep Mail|wc -l
310
gene@coyote:~/PublicA$ lsof |grep Mail|wc -l
310
gene@coyote:~/PublicA$ lsof |grep index|wc -l
520
gene@coyote:~/PublicA$ lsof |grep index|wc -l
638
 And it just keeps growing the number.  So I'm going to stop it, and nuke 
then all. Then restart and time it.


Back later with the results.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
