Not sure but my random guess is it could be related to a small tmpfs
in my setting

tmpfs                        1869900      240   1869660   1% /tmp

As I just noticed that I couldn't quit from mutt due to tmpfs is full.

Maybe it was just shrinking tmpfs caused problem? then I can think of
deleting tmpfs from my setup..
