Haven't seen this.  However, sending a SIGINT might cause a traceback
to see where the loop is.  I suspect the loop is trying to traverse
a mangled MIME structure.  I have encountered many screwy things 
from all the worms and viruses.  I have always gotten an exception,
not a loop, however.

I have to run at the moment.  If SIGINT doesn't work, the thing to work
on is a way to get a traceback for looping milters.
