On balsa.gnome.org You can read:

Please note that pspell distributed with RH8.0 makes balsa hang on fork
() call, i.e. when any external program is to be forked from balsa. 
This case can easily be detected by running ldd /path/to/balsa: 
libpthread should be listed before libc. The fix is to remove -lc from 
dependency_libs in /usr/lib/libpspell.la and relink balsa.

The same applies to browser if I remember :)
