my suggestion is to quit alpine, restart it, go to the configuration 
screen and set

Status Message Delay                = -1

then reproduce the problem, and once it has happened, go to the main 
screen, press J, then set the debug level to 9 and find what is happening 
before the problem begins.

I hope this helps.
