Re: writing to process: bad file descriptor, IMAP

I'm still having this problem.  It doesn't matter how many attachments I
try to send (but it always occurs when I try to send a mail with
attachments).  It's not a server problem I think, as it happens both when I
try to send email through gmail and my university account.

Some of the emails go through, some don't, sometimes there is a copy among
sent mail, sometimes there isn't.

Toggling on and off the plugged status makes no difference.

Perhaps relatedly, I'm having a lot of problems lately with Wanderlust: it
keeps loading the msgdb constantly (the minibuffer and *Messages* are full
with "Loading msgdb for [...] ...done" messages).  It keeps Emacs busy so
that I have to press C-g repeatedly to stop it.  Sometimes I have to exit
Wanderlust completely.  It has gotten to the point where I can't keep
Wanderlust open all the time in order to be able to use Emacs.

But this only happens on Debian testing with wl-beta 2.15.9+0.20160912-3.
None of this happens on Debian stable with wl-beta 2.15.9+0.20141019-4.  The
two computers share the same setup.

Has anyone experienced similar problems?
