I've only seen it yesterday - I was working from home, using my
home Laptop as an X-server for Emacs 22 running on my work PC.

I do this all the time, and haven't seen the problem before.
One difference though is that yesterday I had to use a somewhat 
slower Internet connection due to problems on the primary link.

Is there some timeout in the CCL engine?
Maybe some bad interaction with X server timeouts?

One other difference is that the Emacs 22 session had previously
failed to deliver mail (trying to use the SMTP server on the primary
ISP) - I then switched to using the SMTP server on the secondary ISP.

But the lockup happens while I'm writing a message - not when sending it.
