Well, this is not the same bug ! The libibex bug was caused by a corrupted
mbox.ibex and crashed the mailer systematically when syncronising mail just
after retreival. But the bug I was talking about in my previous mail is
caused by getting mail from multiple POP accounts simultaneously. And it
was quite frequent (nearly each time there was mail on both accounts) and
occured on the 2nd or 3rd mail.

OK, so there's still something waiting in the dark to bite us ...
