Package: mutt
Version: 1.7.2-1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer, after updating my home mail server system to Debian Stretch based one, mutt would randomly disconnect non-TLS IMAP connection to localhost (dovecot-imapd), briefly showing "interrupted system call" error. This seems to be NeoMutt bug that already has a patch (commits a5d0e1f and 4c9d375 in the neomutt GIT).

https://github.com/neomutt/neomutt/issues/407

Workaround for me was commenting out 'set ssl_starttls = no' from .muttrc (it was added to avoid the TLS overhead on localhost connection on the previous Raspberry PI based system).
