Repair folder sends TH into 100% CPU load and has to be killed again.
As can be seen in the log, TH fails to read from the server, it locks or crashes.
I'd search a bit on repair folder high cpu load and see if there is a mozilla article on how to handle it. If your usenet index is corrupt (sounds like it is), depending on the size, it can take a LONG time (multiple hours) to rebuild. Granted, it should not take 100% of the CPU, but some of the indexing code in tbird, especially with the circa 1980 "Mork" text database format for addressbook, etc.. When I've had to rebuild in the past, I usually let it bang away at 100% as long as I can stand it, then kill it as you did, restart and it tends to behave a bit better when not starting from scratch. There is an article on rebuilding the global indexes here. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/rebuilding-global-database -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
