[Users] Infinite loop problem!

For some time now (months) I've had problems
with ~20% of the email from a particular company
putting claws-mail into an infinite loop...
requiring aborting claws-mail, tracking down
the message in the mail directory, and manually
deleting it.
If I don't delete the email, next time that message
is processed by claws-mail, it loops again.
BUT, I just tracked down the looping: it's actually
NOT in claws-mail, but in pango-1.48-4, the standard
version included in Fedora 33. The loop is in
"pango_layout.c/process_item" having to do with
hyphenation.
It seems that pango has had some updates,
looking at the source code shows changes in the
relevant parts, so just installed
pango-1.48.10 and with the same message that
caused looping before is now okay.
Just thought this would be of interest to the claws
community.
