I have the exact same problem using gnome-terminal, where I'm ssh'd over
to another box running screen with mutt in it.  It was happening with
Redhat 9 as well.  Doesn't happen on my Debian machines.

I raised a bug in Redhat 9 Bugzilla, but the problem is still happening.

My only workaround so far has been to hit "CTRL-a d" to detach the
screen, then "screen -dr" to reattach.  However, sometimes the CPU just
keeps chugging along (probably infinitely?) so I kill the window and
start over.

Very annoying.

Perhaps we should raise this issue againon Fedora-Devel-List and
Bugzilla again....

Cheers,
Vic
