Usually, it happens to me whan I forget I've got a Pine open somewhere, and launch it again in a second console. Fortunately, the cure is fairly easy and does not require a reboot -- so you'll never lose that large ftp download ... 1.) Log in as super user; 2.) Run ps to get the process ID of open pine sessions. Do this once for each open coinsole where pine is running for the same user; 3.) Use kill -9 PID to kill the each open Pine session, where PID is the process ID of the open Pine session. 4.) Restart Pine and continue doing mail.
