I have pinned it down tighter:

The bug appears when there is a thread in which I posted and then 
someone replied and I posted again. Then, the thread will have two 
messages with the same id, and one of them (the latter one) will point 
to the id of the previous one (in References:). But since it will have 
the same id, it will point to itself. The threading mechanism probably 
chokes on this entering an endless loop. I think that it may be possible 
to avoid the bug by turning threading off for that folder. I do not use 
Thunderbird. Is that possible ?
