Note that this is without using IDLE.

It may also be in older versions, I just started having to use offlineimap
at work, and unfortunately, each full resync (just headers), causes 10MB of
traffic, which eats into my daily mail transfer quota, so restarting
offlineimap too often or running it without IDLE for any length of time
will cause my issues as in not being able to get my mail at all :-/

Isn't it easier to add some debug code around where it's hanging so that it
give a better clue as to where and why it is hanging, or it's not that simple?
